Look what I found in the greenhouse, innocently feasting on my newly sprouting Tilia Cordata (littleleaf linden). My first instinct was to immediately remove and discard it outside the fence for the birds to find. I just can't stand looking at caterpillars! Luckily, I was able to calm myself. Enough to do a little research on it. Well, what do you know... it's the caterpillar of a red-spotted purple butterfly (Limenitis arthemis). picture source Come to think of it, I did see one or two ... continue reading...

Fiesta Friday #321
It’s the end of week 2 of telecommuting and/or remote learning for New Jersey residents, the end of which is unpredictable.

Fiesta Friday #318
The news regarding Covid-19 (coronavirus) worries me to a certain extent. Only a handful of cases are suspected in New Jersey, with just 2 confirmed so far, but I do have relatives who live in both California and Washington State, where the number of cases appears to be increasing daily. In the meantime, my daughter's senior trip to Florida is in a couple of weeks, and just a few days ago they reported 2 brand-new cases there. I want to tell her not to go, but she would probably tell me I'm ... continue reading...
