Our original trip date was 10/18, however the predicted weather called for a
cool, cloudy morning with some sun late in the day so we postponed our walk
until Sunday, 10/19 at 1:00. The day was sunny with a predicted high of 64
degrees. As we arrived and began to look in Evelyn’s garden, we were
pleasantly surprised at the number and diversity of butterflies that we saw. Most
of the butterflies we saw were in her garden. A few were in the woods. In
attendance were: Evelyn Dabbs, Johnny Hardaway, Pat and Jerry Bright, Pam and
Doug DeNeve, Susan and Bobby Creed, and Marty and Dave Kastner.
