I'm borrowing Mom's brand new shiny computer! Seriously, she bought it last week. Mom is funny in that she's a retired computer technician that doesn't know how to use a computer. She's all hardware. She diagnosed my computer and took the memory stick out and got it working again (sort of, it freezes because I think it doesn't have enough memory). But she's trying to set up her new computer and last night she's like, "How do I install iTunes?" And I tell her go to the iTunes website and click the button that says "Install iTunes". But I did it for her anyway and got her iPod all updated. Plus, I took her to that rose show and we ate at Red Lobster. I got lots of shrimp so I'm happy. Shrimp scampi is definitely a Melanie host food. Rolling on the floor laughing

I slept all day today and only got up about an hour ago. Two more Spicebush hatched. One didn't make it and the other is super pale. I'm kind of hoping I have an albino. I don't even know if that happens, but it would be super cool. Spicebush cats are a light brown when they hatch and they do tend to darken a bit, but I've never seen one this pale. I tried to take a picture but it's so small it's hard to pick up. It's that thing right under the egg. I'll let you know if he stays that way. I hope so!

Meanwhile, I was outside picking food and one of my Zebra Longwings conveniently made its chrysalis right on the obelisk.

And the smaller of the two Zebra Longwings got big! They grow up so fast!
