A Brand New J-Boy!

It was a day of torrential downpours in Pennsylvania, but in spite of the rain, something amazing was happening in the milkweed patch. Look! We have a brand new J-Boy! I checked in the morning, to discover that one of the huge monarch caterpillars had formed a J. By the end of the afternoon, we had a brand new, shiny, green chrysalis! Hooray!

The soundtrack for this lovely creature who will soon turn into a butterfly is this gentle lullaby: James Taylor, with Sweet Baby James.
