A few weeks ago I added plants to my garden that are attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds. This morning I checked on my garden (needs water!), and spotted two striped caterpillars on the milkweed . . . that look just like this monarch butterfly caterpillar. I should have a couple cocoons soon, and then . . . butterflies! I'm thrilled.My goals for today are simple - try to get the magic marker off my belly where the doctor put his initials to insure he cut into the correct side of my body.
Goal for the week - finish my Gathered Knot pullover.
Ah, the simple things . . .

Sometimes the simple things are the best things in the world! Tonight I plan on taking it easy by reading and sending out email to calm all the bridesmaids down.
I spent the day proving the adage, "A bad of fishing is better than the best day at the office." The river was beautiful with 2 inches of fresh snow along the banks (cold wading, even with waders), but even without any Steelheads, it was still nice... Looking forward to butterfly photos.
Wow, that's the first time I've ever seen a pic of a monarch butterfly caterpillar... COOL!
It's nice sometimes to slow down and appreciate the simple things.
