This year's project got off to a slow start. Leo
built another 4 raised beds, we planted them in
colorful annuals, then planted 13 new lilacs
and...nothing! We checked the milkweed at least
once a day since the end of May, and by the 20th,
were getting very discouraged.

Then, on June 22, Leo suggested that we check a
milkweed patch just outside of Livingston.
Finally!!! We found 6 eggs and rekindled our hope.

The search began in earnest. Between June 22nd
and July 5th, we found more milkweed patches and
rescued over 95 eggs!!!!! (including 44 in 3
hours on June 27th!) And on June 29th, the
monarchs finally found our yard, too!
