12 years ago today, I was tagging monarchs [too early, it turns out] to take a break from all the sad news on 9/11. Each year when the tagging season begins I want to surround myself with the beauty still left in the world amidst the bad memories of that day.
I am happy and egg-cited to report that Monarch Waystation #271 has sighted its FIRST EGG of the season today! I guess all the monarchs bypassed my yard on their way north. Obviously a female found the yard in the last few days. If I hadn't had the day off, I wouldn't have found the egg. This makes it a Happy Patriot's Day! Huzza!
