They left town

Even so, the tourists replacing the departed were clogging up parts of town (South Congress, for instance). On a weekend like this, there are many new dog-walkers out and about, some never seen again. We were able to enjoy the yard. It was late to put them in, but it's still lots of fun to see scarlet runner beans popping up in places where we didn't remember putting them. The leaves appear to be tasty treats to some creature or creature. There are monarch eggs all over the last potted milkweed that remains with leaves and flowers. We hope that our monarch caterpillars weren't consumed; we're not finding any chrysalises. The wrens keep trying to nest in surprising locations and we must remember to keep the mailbox closed up entirely.
