Hubby left yesterday to drop off our oldest baby basset at football practice, then it was straight home. No stops. No side trips. Well, it turns out he has now come down with plant fever just like me. Actually, to be more precise, he has come down with Monarch egg fever. I told him that my partner in crime just bought two new milkweed plants with Monarch eggs at the hardware store. I also told him I was going to show some self control and not buy any. He never promised to show self control, so he went and bought two more plants. HA! He is just as bad as me. We are both bug / plant crazy! The last of the three original caterpillars are now in chrysalis form. So now I just added two new plants into the butterfly habitat with possibly four new caterpillars. MY EMPIRE SHALL RISE!!!! Hmmph… It’s getting a little crowded in there. Maybe I should expand.
