May flowers, etc.

We are so very proud of our niece, Heather.  She graduated from medical school!  Most of us were able to go up to Michigan to enjoy the festivities.  It was a quick trip, but we're so glad we made it.

This year, we raised swallowtail butterflies that I found in the garden.  I went out there one morning and saw something on the dill - I was about ready to smush it when I realized it was a swallowtail caterpillar.  They eat a LOT of dill, and I was hoping to keep some of it for homemade pickles.  Ah well.  The butterflies ARE beautiful.
