My husband, Steve, sent me this picture while I was working a 12- hour shift in Pediatrics. Woohoo! The Monarchs are finally here! And whew! I was getting worried - they arrived much later this year. I can hardly wait to get out there looking for eggs and larvae. I missed my friends!

In the picture is a female on Swamp Milkweed. To the left is newly blooming Baby Joe Pye Weed. You know I couldn't contain myself. I rushed home, blew through my chores, and ran outside, in the fading daylight to see if she left me a p[resent. Sure enough, I found a tiny egg in the exact same spot! Hooray!
