This is from my journal at the farm. Its probably a late entry. I may make several entries a day to try to keep up with the backlog of entries I have.

Madison was very excited today.  We retrieved her aquarium that she uses for raising butterflies.  She has been gathering black swallowtail caterpillars off my garden dill for a few days and the jar she had them in was getting a bit crowded.

She raises butterflies each summer.  She usually has both monarch and swallowtail but this year, we don't have the milkweed at the farm that we have in town.

Here she is trying to release them in 2006:

I hope she has as much fun this year as in years past.
