The Monarch Butterfly Song

 

Good morning Little Frog,

One of your Two Tutus is still asleep wrapped up in his sea of blankets. That's Tutu Pete. He loves lots and lots of blankets.

One of your Two Tutus is awake and wrapped up in her cozy red robe. That's me. I love my cozy red robe.

You, Little Frog, are wrapped up in the precious warm ocean carried by your Mom. 


The other day your Dad sent the picture you see up there. 🠉🠉🠉🠉

Wow, that's a wonderful thing your people -- your Mom and Dad -- built to keep the caterpillars from being eaten up by the hungry birds. Everybody has to eat, but sometimes smaller people need a little help. That's what's happening in that big, white, tunnel made from cloth or netting that lets in lots of air and light. Good thinking!!

Someday when you leave your private ocean and are out in the world with eyes open, breathing the air of Kane'ohe you can see those caterpillars and Monarch Butterflies for yourself.


Here's a man playing a guitar, teaching people to play a very cool song called "The Monarch Butterfly Song." The song tells about the Monarch Butterflies fly, fly, flying away to warm and sunny Mexico (that's a country you'll learn about later) before it gets cold and snowy (you'll find out about cold, and about snow later, too). What's really wonderful is you live in a place that is warm and sunny and not Mexico. The Monarch Butterflies love to live where you live!

Your Daddy might like the song. He's good at playing the guitar, and could learn this song. Maybe he'll play this song for you and your Mom. We'd love, love, love to hear him play it, too. 


Ahui hou sweetie pie. See you soon Butterfly. 🦋

😘😘😘

Your Two Tutus

Keeping track, and cookin' good stuff

 Hello Little Frog, Your Two Tutus, and your Mom and Dad are busy doing things human people do. This picture (above) is a big pot of Chicken Adobo going into Jude's Crockpot for dinner later today. That's me, your Tutu Lady, masked up, because I'm cooking for sharing with our friends. A whole pan of sliced onions with garlic got browned up yummy before putting them into the Crockpot filled with chicken (Tutu Pete did all the chopping up of the whole chicken) marinating in apple cider vinegar, Bay Leaves, coconut palm sugar, Coconut Aminos and Mushroom broth. I'm putting in the ingredients so one day, maybe, you'll want to cook a Crockpot of Chicken Adobo. Yes!! I hope I'm still around to eat that with you. 😎😎😎😎😎 AND LOOK !! There you are, growing and growing in your private ocean. Soon the wave will have your name on it so get ready on your surfboard Brudda. xoxo Your Daddy was busy making bread. He's working 'off-island' ... that means he gets ...

Seeing one thing, and remembering another

  Hello Little Frog, This is a video that made me smile from the first moment I heard the music and saw the puppet and his puppeteer.  Your Dad plays the guitar, and your Mom plays the ipu and maybe other instruments, too. I don't really know, but you'll find out. This video reminds me so much of a friend your Dad and your Tutu Lady knew a long time ago, when your Dad was a boy. His name was Raymond North. Maybe sometime your Dad will have a story to share about Raymond North who had a gravelly voice like the man playing the guitar in this video.  Raymond North was a Welshman, these men are Irishmen. Wales is near Ireland. Listen closely to the song at the end of the video. It's Irish. Your Tutu Pete is an Irishman. It's fun to see how one thing you see can make you think of another thing, or another person. Life is magic that way, if you look for it or listen just so. 💙💚💚
