And finally, I know I'm the one always saying "if you plant it, they will come". But darnit if I don't get surprised when it actually happens. Mom and I were outside (saw the hummingbird, by the way) and I decided to check my false indigo. Imagine my surprise to find two of these guys! They're Silver Spotted Skippers right? I know they're really common in parts of the country, but I rarely see them here. I've seen two this entire year. I hoped when I planted the indigo they would come, but I'm still surprised to actually see them. Mom got a big kick out of them, too.
