this morning as I was sitting in the garden quietly reading my book, birds, squirrels and bunnies wandered through…

they are used to me sitting out there and don’t really mind me particularly as they pretty much know that I have no plans to hurt them…

although this morning I was a little miffed with the squirrels because they have figured out a way to get onto the two bird feeders that I thought were safe from them, sigh…

but all in all, a wonderful garden sanctuary;-)…

stripped…

yesterday I moved five monarch caterpillars from one area of milkweed, where all of the leaves had been devoured across the path to the group that were caterpillar-free…

this picture is before every single leaf had been gobbled up…

I used a stick to move them because I didn’t want to get injured, lol…

at least one of the caterpillars was miffed because it opened its mouth wide and felt like it was hissing at me…

I guess they also travelled on their own, because today I discovered eleven on those plants… and I moved another one that seemed to be trying to eat the stem of the stripped milkweed…

hope there are enough leaves to get them to the correct size to move into the chrysalis phase;-)…
