We had a visitor show up at dinner to eat on her trip South

In my post yesterday I mentioned we would leave our hummingbird feeders up for travelers: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028202103

We had a lone female show up at dinner tonight.

We are sure she will eat in the morning and continue heading South.

A monarch butterfly, likely on a journey south, flew in the door today when I let the dog out. Cracklin Charlie Oct 2016 #2

It was flickering around the room and landing on my 15 month old granddaughter. She was giggling and bouncing around. I caught it in a plastic food container, set it on the step, and we watched it fly away.

Nice diversion from our everyday routine, but I'm not so sure I am ready for the visitors to leave.
