We were back to dank weather with a cold, gusty wind. I couldn't face swimming but made the rounds to check on caterpillars, chrysalis, and spiders. All appeared well. I counted five on the milkweed. An Asian ladybug walked around on the morning glory leaves. A lot of ground cherry leaves had been eaten but the caterpillars were too well hidden for me. While skimming leaves off the water, I startled a red spotted purple.
An American crow perched on a dock piling while water streamed over the boards A blue jay had some barkbutter balls and was photobombed by a monarch, I think. It was out of focus. The moonflower seeds I planted in pots on the front patio did well and have been blooming. Not so the back yard seeds.
