This weekend as I was viewing my garden, I was very happy to discover newly-laid eggs on a couple of plants, and, then to my surprise, I discovered an almost fully grown larva (must have been hiding as I haven't seen it at all), chomping away happily. I can report, I have milkweed, nectar flowers and water available in my backyard. We have had a couple of sunny days with temps in the high 70's this week. I anticipate colder weather by this next weekend. I have daffodils flowering and trees are just starting to shimmer with a new-green sheen with a promise of new leaves. I must not forget to mention, the birds are singing up a storm!
