Where the Wild Things Are

Sadly, our first little monarch caterpillar, Husker, didn’t make it (we think he tried to form his chrysalis before he was mature enough). But today we ventured just beyond the edge of town in search of another. In the span of about 15 minutes, we saw six turkeys, a deer, a blue heron, a swallowtail butterfly, and, yes, another monarch caterpillar. Thankfully, no snakes. Surprising and jumbley, so much wild in one little ditch.
