Our heat finally broke today and it's supposed to be a beautiful weekend with lower humidity and temps.

Have a pile of monarch butterfly chrysalises in one of those pop-up enclosures outside. I had 2 females and 1 male eclose today and there are 7 more to go with 4 caterpillars still pigging out, so they have kept me busy the past couple weeks. It will be nice to add back to the declining population of those creatures!
