    SNS, here is a beautiful vid of a Monarch hatching. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5QH3bGF4uU

    And here is the life cycle of the Monarch from egg to butterfly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AUeM8MbaIk

    It is so wonderful to have this happening in my garden and at times inside.
    I have another chrysalis about to hatch too. The first butterfly appears to be a female.

    MS, that is amazing – thank you for sharing a video of what you get to see in your yard.
    I have to hand it Miss Leela, she insisted on doing the decorating herself, with a bit of help from the agency kitties.
    I’m not the dance party type, but am enjoying my girl having so much fun.
    Back home it’s sleeting, and snow is right behind it. It was in the upper 60’s this morning!
    I should note that Comet has been on his best behavior today, resisting the urge to pounce on his sister. He even gave her some flowers without eating any!

    Sorry I’m late! I have to send Leela birthday wishes before the end of the day! Happy Birthday, Leela. Emily says happy birthday too. She remembers you from TDK parties, claw-di-cures.

    Sleeting! Spring can be so fickle. We have had a reasonably nice day but now it has clouded right over and rain is on the way, tomorrow is going to be an atrocious day tomorrow with possible snow in the Sth Island and heavy rain up my way. It is all the remnants of Cyclone Ita that devastated Vanuatu and hit Queensland in Australia. It’s going to be a wet Easter.
    Awwwwwww Comet, you are a lovely brother.
    AV, yay on the girls chatting politely.

    Peeking in to see if anyone is up and about, got hit here with tons of ‘work’ as soon as we walked in the door this evening, sigh. Just finally got caught up which is quite unusual.

    Saw this in a magazine and thought it looked good 🙂

    RICE BOWL WITH FRIED EGG AND AVOCADO
    Brown rice—higher in fiber and other nutrients than its white counterpart—is the perfect vehicle for this quick, protein-heavy lunch.
    Ingredients:
    • 4 scallions, thinly sliced
    • 2 cups cooked brown rice
    • 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
    • Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
    • 3 tablespoons olive oil
    • 4 large eggs
    • 1 avocado, chopped
    • Hot sauce (for serving)

    If you need a quick, healthy meal that’s ready in a flash, but can’t bring yourself to eat one more chopped salad, take heart: This rice bowl is your new best friend. (We’ve told you about lunch bowls, right?) With fiber-rich brown rice, protein-packed egg, creamy avocado for texture, and raw scallion for some bite and zing, this nutritious meal is anything but boring. Add a drizzle of hot sauce over it all to spice things up, if you like. Make it extra easy on yourself by cooking a big batch of rice in advance, then assembling the bowls throughout the week. It’s a lunch (or dinner!) that takes the guesswork out of simple, flavorful food.

    Hi, Deb 🙂
    Happy Birthday, Miss Leela.
    Just looking in before I head to bed. I am so sick of this grotty autumn weather after such a pathetic summer 🙁
    That rice dish looks good. I am planning to master mushroom risotto with crunchy prosciutto on top since I love it so much. Have to find a really good creamy recipe though… I must admit, I had enough of brown rice during the years when I was completely vegetarian, I never really grew to like the taste and it takes SOOOOO much longer than white rice to cook. I love white rice, arborio, jasmine — but really not so much brown and wild… Unlike brown bread which is so much yummier than white bread!

    Ack, missed you Jane, I am so sorry…watching way too many screens tonight and listening to too many voices.

    I agree with you on the brown rice, I cannot get into the taste of it no matter how I try. I found another good recipe but haven’t had the chance to type it up yet, hope to share that tonight.

    Oh well I need to start shutting down the computers, seems the closer I get to getting off the chattier these people get and then it’s hectic to shut down. Hope to get back on when I get home, everyone have a good day or a good sleep if it’s that time for you as it will be for me 🙂
