Monarch, one more ... A Painted Lady

Tomorrow will we our first day back to school from Fall Break ... an 8 period day and club schedule tomorrow.  In AP Biology, Respiration Lab is due and Mitosis / Meiosis lab starts on Tuesday.  In Selected Topics, we will finish up genetics this week and Computer programming will be working on READ/DATA statements by the end of the week.

I have ended the week in Holland working on fall projects ... planting daffodil bulbs, cleaned the garage, prepared our flower beds for winter, bush-hogged my walking path and around our buildings.  Our Big Burl's Turnip patch has had several visitors for free turnip/mustard/creasy greens.  John, Claire and their dog Chloe were over yesterday and they went canoeing.

Still a lot of butterflies out ... lots of sulphurs and skippers, gulf fritillary, painted lady and a few Monarchs.  I saw a Monarch at the East Allen Fire Hall on Thursday and our last chrysalis eclosed on Friday.  Below, Sue Neal in action as protector of the Monarchs!

Below, some of our other visitors to our butterfly plants ... a Painted Lady, Gulf Fritillary and Clouded Sulfur.
