Made this delicious strawberry icebox cake.







We had it for dessert tonight. It rivals anything you'd get in a fancy hotel or restaurant--that's what my husband said :)

Tonight, I also found a monarch egg on one of the milkweed plants surrounding our vegetable garden, I was so excited! I've been hunting for a week:


This will be its new home until it's big enough to transfer into the cage with the larger screen holes:


I try to raise a monarch every summer. I used to as a kid and my own two enjoy this too--they're very excited right now!

I'm still knitting the baby blanket for my husband's cousin in Seattle--more to come on that later . . . .
