I was wearing my glasses when I discovered a monarch caterpillar on the milkweed that I was pulling in the chicken yard Sunday afternoon. After careful searching, L & I found another tiny one, and I left the remaining milkweed alone. L is now raising them in her butterfly enclosure in the house. We haven't been able to find monarch caterpillars for the past several years, so this makes me happy!
L worked as Ball Girl at the Varsity Soccer game on Saturday. The girls wiped up with the competition. I was (very) briefly regretful that J wasn't playing this year: the first Fall in 10 years that she hasn't been playing soccer! She said that last year "just wasn't as much fun as it used to be." Likely much of that was from the fact that she had drama practice AND soccer practice or game every night for 2 months, not to mention homework. She was pretty stressed last Fall!
We got over 8 inches of rain last week in a 3 day period - nothing to compare to the drenching that NC got over the weekend. We anticipated 24 + hours of drenching rain from Florence today, but have only gotten a half inch or less. We really didn't need another day where the kids had a 2 hour delay for school due to flooding, and then came home 2 hours later because the rain never stopped!
L has a home soccer game tomorrow afternoon, and J is supposed to be at the HS for play rehearsal right in the middle of it. Sigh. Can scheduling EVER go smoothly?
Must run...work and school tomorrow!
