The star of this show: a sort of extended family member — a monarch butterfly that hatched from its chrysalis late last week in Kate’s second-grade class. She brought it home today and let it go in our yard. It flew directly to a big potato flower bush in front of the house, then sunned itself for awhile on a jasmine plant just across our neighbor’s fence. Then after a few minutes, it fluttered along the side of our house toward the backyard, and we didn’t see it again.
