Today we went to B'water and by the newer Bridge there were tiger 
Swallowtails all over the place being mowed down by Cars. As we headed back 
to White Point, we met pockets of them and a few darker ones that I didn't 
see clearly enough to identify. Just past the Meadow Pond as you head west 
from Liverpool, I saw a lovely big Monarch. Almost we hit it but it went up 
over the roof. When I returned here I checked my Milkweed but no sign of 
eggs yet. THe plants are from 2" and just starts up to about 12' maybe 
higher, I am trying to decide if I should pick tops out to make the stalks 
branch. It worked with a few last year. By August we ran through three 
generations of Milkweed and the plants were done.

That perches in the soul
And sings the tunes without the words
And never stops–at all." (Emily Dickinson)
