Alaska to New Mexico

Life in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. We left Homer, Alaska on June 3rd, 2009, traveling in our van loaded down with everything we need to set up housekeeping in New Mexico. We now own a small house here and are loving life in the sun. If you scroll back far enough, you'll find a complete record of our road trip.

It Hatched



We returned from shopping this morning to find that our swallowtail chrysalis had hatched. The caterpillar moved from the parsley, where it had been feeding, to the blue sage plant next to it. Nine days later, voila!

You can see the discarded chrysalis in the picture below. We've planted lots more parsley, so hopefully the next crop of caterpillars will have lots to eat.
