Bob, curious:  you don't have butterflies in the summer?  Too hot?  
Dry?  Or?  Never thought about it before.  We see few now, and in 
another couple of weeks, after a hard frost which we still haven't had 
here,  will see none anymore this year.   Your little Monarch guy likely 
on his way to Mexico where they winter.  I read the other day it takes 4 
hatches to make the trip back as far as Maine.....wonderful.

Susan Jane, who's getting out her yucky clothes and then going 
downcellar to fish out the SawzAll for the big pumpkin race tomorrow.  
Went and looked at my team's pumpkin this morning and not sure how we'll 
do; it's pretty lopsided. :-(
