Beautiful Memorial Day w/ Butterflies!

Conditions at the Lodge as of 10:00 a.m.:

65.8 degrees F and rising;
35% humidity and steady;
29.32" of Hg pressure and rising;
0" of rainfall in the last 24 hours;
3.6" of flow in the ever decreasing Cascades Brook;
1MPH occasional breezes;
Blue skies;
LOW USFS Fire Danger Class.

For the last several days I have been watching yellow butterflies here in the glen around the Lodge.

They move up and down along the face of the trees that outline the edge of the opening. Were I to try to interpret butterflies I would say that they were mostly just having a good time and not particularly looking for anything in particular.

It would appear that the white and purple flowers we posted on about a week ago are the reason for their spending time here in the first place.

Their presence is appreciated.
