Meredith! You look too young to have kids the age you do! Nice to "see" you. Smiling Very cool things you've been doing lately.

I'm enjoying everything you're reporting Melanie. I promise to *try* to post photos tonight. I have to make some coffeecake first though or the dh is going to go into withdrawals & turn into a bear - a grumpy bear. It takes a while to make the coffeecake as it's not like normal coffeecake. We have celiac disease so have to eat & that means cook & bake gluten free. Baking is a whole different thing than it used to be. For one thing it takes a whole lot longer to mix up & the baking time is generally longer too. Okay, enough about that. Melanie, I am distraught. I haven't seen but a few zebra long wings this year & that was early on -- I haven't seen one at all in at least 2 months solid. I don't understand why. they are usually so abundant here.
Oh, fun fact to add to Two Egg -- there's also a town in FL named Scratch Ankle. Hilarious! Now just imagine how they came up with that name.

Wow, with 23 black swallowtails you're going to be one busy girl!!! We seem to have a lot of black swallowtails here this year although I haven't gotten many photos of them. Today I also saw a Giant Swallowtail flitting around but I didn't have time to go flitting after it to get a photo.
I am a strong believer in the simple fact is that what matters in this life is how we treat others. I think that's what living is all about. Not what I've done in my life but how I've treated others. ~~ Sharon Brown
