Well, today, June 5th, I saw a Monarch! So odd, but considering the butterflies were so late to start the spring season, I guess this makes sense. The heat didn't get up to near normal levels for the time of year until the rains & clouds were gone. Like a water faucet was turned off...not a drop since. We're back to sun all day long and hot again. Having to water again, not my favorite thing, but it was bound to happen! Still have a Giant Swallowtail around and I assume the egg-laying could continue.
Oh, and I miss the cute Spicebush cats! Hope a mom butterfly shows up here for my Spicebush.
I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White
