Happy Easter from Mrs. Roll & Mrs. Gavin who came in to get the chrysalises and the nets now that they are ready to be transported to our houses for butterfly watching!

Fun fact and don't tell Mrs. Gavin 😉 🤫 Every year I help her transfer them to the net because she's afraid to touch it all! 😆 This year one of her guys was down in the *waste* and I had to fish him out.
