One other hobby I do, is plant milkweed plants, to attract Monarch
butterflies. This year's plants were very successful. I watched, one afternoon, a Monarch lay eggs on the undersides of the leaves, and that was in April, I think. Now, here in late June, I see the monarch caterpillars have eaten all the leaves and flowers, which is what they're SUPPOSED to do, and I'm now looking forward to seeing new Monarch butterflies emerge from their cocoons.

Plus, I keep busy year round, going to knitting meet ups here.
