A couple of sunflower seeds germinated and sprouted up. I hope they will survive to flower. A variegated fritillary appeared to be egging the violets. One of the Argiope spiders moved into the mountain mint and already caught a meal. I counted seven monarch caterpillars and probably missed some. A dozen or more black swallowtail caterpillars were on the rue. Later, a gray hairstreak also seemed interested in violet leaves. I also saw tiger and black swallowtails and, I think, a sleepy orange.
The hummer feeder was empty so I hung another. I chased two frogs around the pool. One cooperated but the other outlasted me. A mockingbird showed up for barkbutter balls. A blue jay followed. Something with a big furry butt was up in one of the pines. Hummers and a blue jay came for supper.
