Had my first visitor to my garden today.

The Milkweed is in full flower(I Love the Smell of Milkweed), 

The bees and butterflies are busy.

 If you are going to raise some Monarch's this year and would like to tag them like I do it's time to order your tags now.  The company that supplies them works slowly.

Tags are available at Monarch Watch .

In Western NY the caterpillars start appearing the 3rd week of August.  So those of you in the North East and Midwest US should start seeing them around the same time. This makes a perfect addition to your kid's classroom on the first day of school.

If you are wondering what the heck I'm talking about pop over to my introduction and follow the link to squidoo.
