- Butterflies
The 7th butterfly began emerging, spontaneously and the liquid soup he was part of spilled out onto the pot.
What was happening?
-
-
The very large #7 that had hung from the side of the pot started to emerge: the legs were visible
-
-
and then an antenna –or possibly proboscis. But that was all, nothing more by the next morning.
-
-
I said good-bye to #7 outside and removed him. He was a huge caterpillar and I thought he might have been a female.
-
-
There were still two pupae on sticks in the pot. Keeping them in the house doesn’t let them accurately sense the weather. But, they were now black and likely dead.
-
-
The butterfly house is now empty.
-
-
Because we never know about Black Eastern Swallowtails, I am allowing them to remain outside and let nature take whatever course.
2. Cactus
There is Thanksgiving cactus, Christmas cactus and even Easter cactus; this guy thinks he’s a Halloween cactus.
3. Snails
Sheldon and Swirl try to take the subway.

All in a days work …
-
-
Hey, Sheldon! Hey, Swirl!
-
-
So what’s new? Got a new bed of lettuce!
-
-
Dang, train’s late again!
-
-
Excuse me!
-
-
Um, excuse me, I just need to …
-
-
You’re standing on my (one) foot
-
-
Oof, argh!
-
-
Whew. Train still too crowded to get on.
-
-
See you tomorrow.
These are so cool 😊
Oh cool! How do you care for your Christmas cactus? Do I need to do anything special to get it to bloom?
