Yippee! We just found Monarch eggs on the milkweed at school. The plants are 4-8" high and there are about 15 of them. There were so many eggs that I couldn't count all of them! I haven't personally seen a Monarch yet, but the children (kindergartners) and now the playground assistants have told me that they saw one over the last 3-4 days. Obviously, there was at least 1 female! I can't remember ever having eggs this early! It must have been a female straight from Mexico...there hasn't been time for the first generation of cats to mature and get to Nashville yet! You should have seen the smiles in the garden this morning when I took the kids out and we tried to count the eggs! Such excitement! We did some weeding and looking with the magnifying glass (and math "4 on this one, here's 2 more! How many is that...4+2= ???")
