Two and a half hour session in the dentist's chair this afternoon that started off with "Oops, sorry" and a nice big drill hole in the bottom of my tongue, and it just got more fun from there. asghajgadjdfgusfgajkfhklj!!!!! Anyway, going back to bed and curling in a fetal ball now.

So I have a really good excuse right now for why I haven't replied if you've posted me. Will be on later this evening when I wake up.

Hey, nothing worse can happen today, right? And the bright side: I eat ice cream all weekend.

Owie! I'm wincing in pain just reading your entry. Take care, my child! Will catch up with you later!

I vote 'yes' for an ice cream deluge.

Thank you, sweetie--I'm feeling better now, just a little sore. Got thru it.

And one of my monarchs just hatched!!! (-: He's busy hanging upside down from his chrysalis right now letting his wings expand. I think I'll keep him in the terrarium overnight because he has a few hours of pumping up his wings ahead of him and take him outside in the morning. He's pretty.(-:

The monarch sounds so pretty!

Will you take any photos of the butterfly? Maybe Bingo will pose with it!

It is!!(-:

I didn't. I don't think my camera takes very well thru glass. And when I set them free, I don't want to mess with a camera. There's really good photos on the web as well--they really do look just like this except that those shiny spots and band on the sea green chrysalis are really a fine, shiny, metalic gold--just like gold leaf. Here's another good site.

Anyway, I set the one that emerged last night loose today down by the lake. He flew into a willow tree. I may have seen him again with a new monarch friend when I took a walk down there later.

I do have a Frodo action figure next to the terrarium staring in at the one remaining chrysalis. (-;

Thanks for the links

Those photos are very pretty. I didn't know all that about the monarch metamorphosis. How lucky you are to see this happening in person!

And Frodo's lucky as well!

And the other monarch took off today like a shot when I set him out. A real strong flyer, that one. (-: I get to see them when I take my walk around the lake until they take off for the Monarch Vacation Spot in the fall.
