I have two different kinds of milkweed growing in my yard that the monarchs have laid eggs on. My scientist friend says not to change the milkweed they grew up on. Luckily, only those four were on that particular kind. (There were more, but I think they were able to crawl away to form chrysalises before I bought the new plant). I still have about four or five caterpillars on the other kind of milkweed. And two formed chrysalises this morning, so they are safe.

I'm going to let him out a lot this weekend when I'm here all day and can monitor the situation.   He wasn't pleased to go back in the room, but I sat with him a little bit and he was ok.  I'll go back up there soon.

I don't know. I saw a female laying eggs nine days ago. They should have hatched if they are going to, but they'd be too small to see for a few more days. It is getting late for egg laying here.

Oh I went back and read your earlier post ---so there's still the possibility of 6 or 7 more butterflies?  That's great!  At least the bad milkweed didn't get them all

Edi I remember you mentioning going through the full body scanner at the airport.  Has anyone else gone through it?  I think I almost did until I couldn't lift my arm over my head as requested.

Has everyone seen the clip from Chaplin's 1928 THE CIRCUS that appears to show a woman talking on a cell phone?

I saw the clip.  I really couldn't tell what was in the woman's hand...if anything really was there or if she was just holding her hand next to her head.

Tonight my parents confirmed that weather permitting, they are coming to Sioux City for Thanksgiving.  I'm really glad.  They're just coming for the day and want to eat out at noon.  I'll do a little research and find a good spot.   It will be fun and a lot easier for me than traveling.  I can work on the new room.  I'm very confident the cats will be together by then

Well, I don't know what it is, but I don't really think she's a time traveler. Maybe she's trying to shield her face from the camera.  It isn't as if they were small in those days

I was hoping all day that maybe I was elmore's best friend.

You're very high on my list. Does that help ease the pain?

But this clip is part of the film THE CIRCUS, so I assume she had agreed to appear in this movie; so why would she then hide from the camera?

The intro said it was from the opening of the film THE CIRCUS and implied it was outside the theater.  If it's part of the movie, then, I have no idea

NY Times is reporting that Roger Rees will take over Nathan Lane's ADDAMS FAMILY role as Gomez (in March).   Bebe Neuwirth will stay on as Morticia.

That's if the show makes it through the winter.  From what I've read the show does not sell out

Sign of the season:  Today I put all my summer t-shirts into the under-the-bed storage and got out my sweaters and turtlenecks.  That'll probably make it warm up...

Ricky is finally calmed down.  He was soooo excited running around the house. When I put him back in the room I noticed his arm was VERY red.  I'm not supposed to wash it during the week, but I put a little of the medicated shampoo on a rag and washed it then rinsed it with the other end of the rag.  It's already a lot less red.  I know it was hurting him.  He's laying on me purring now

I took warm clothes to Chicago and never needed them.:D  It poured here the entire time I was gone and the sun came out the day I returned.  Sadly, the rain & cold returned today.

We never completely swap out seasonal clothes, because it can be so variable here.  We've had very warm Thanksgivings and Christmases and we've also had October snowstorms.  I just wanted to get the light-colored and summery florals put away, so I did it all at once.
