More time in the garden, another day at home, I'll give the caterpillars a break today — although I did check on them all, you'll have to see yesterday's note to read about them. Cooler overcast weather and was going to have lunch inside, but decided at the last minute to take it outside and sit on the front porch and get a ringside seat to today's David Attenborough moment.
