Thank you so much! That sounds like such a magical moment! Seems like grasshoppers have a way of showing up just long enough to makes us smile! 😃

That's interesting because those I have seen and took a picture of didn't have many flowers either. They were still beautiful though. I really like the color combination: the white, yellow and the soft purple 😊
