We released eight butterflies yesterday -- one was a bit of surprise. She cooked a little faster than expected, and hatched in her Gladware container. Thankfully, I went upstairs for an envelope last evening and found her, or she probably wouldn't have survived the night.
Releasing them all was a bit chaotic -- DD didn't get to handle them as much as usual, but they did seem attracted to her. Here are a few photos:
We had more females than males, which was a good thing, IMHO. One female can lay thousands of eggs -- lets repopulate the species!
There should be three emerging today (unless we get another surprise). Things are really moving now!
DD got a special request for book thongs at her DistinctivelyDD store as well, so I spent a significant amount of the day uploading a couple dozen new items (earrings, bracelets and book thongs) and still have another dozen or so to do.
One of my fave things was this bracelet:
I'm not sure why I like it so well, but I really do!
Didn't have a lot of time for much else, but today they're all gone boating, so I'm hoping to catch up. I should be able to visit with y'all today, too! First, though, Dakota has a play date with an agility friend at the local dog park shortly, so I have bid you adieu.
Have a great day!

You Are Ambitious |
You have your eye on the prize, and knowing you, it's probably a different prize every week. You have a laser focus when it comes to achieving your goals, and you stay on task. More than being a hard worker, you are a smart worker. You can always figure out a way to get what you want. You don't just climb up the ladder - you skip steps. You break every rule that you can. |
LOL.... that's mostly right :-)

It looks like you're having a banner year with butterflies this year.
For some reason, it seems like I'm seeing more butterflies in our area too.
A good year all around.
I'm so glad you're having a good butterfly year.
ooh, I like the bracelet.
Have a good Saturday.
Beautiful bracelet! Your DD is very talented.
Monarchs have always been my favorite butterflies. I never see any around here though. Just little yellow ones.
I haven't seen many Monarchs here this year, either. But have seen some other butterflies. Y'all are doing a wonderful thing. It must be amazing to watch them fly away.
DD's bracelet is lovely! It makes me think of Fall.
I hope you're having an enjoyable day!
