After seeing a picture of Trump today, I’m now wondering if Kid Rock, Ted Nugent and Lee Greenwood have started working on their rendition of, “Candle In The Wind?” 👀 🕯️🎶

I have voted for you in every election, and will proudly continue to do so as one of your constituents. Thank you for continuing to fight for all Illinoisans!

Every sane, innocent person types up a post mentioning that they don’t care about someone incriminating them SEVEN times. 🤦🏻‍♀️🙄

Weekly tally. The 7 swallowtails are getting huge and I have 7 active monarch caterpillars with many more eggs incubating! 🐛🐛🐛🐛🐛🐛🐛

Three tiny micro monarch caterpillars! Two emerged last night and one today. It’s crazy how quickly you can see the difference! 🐛🐛🐛

If only! 💪🐛😂

Sometimes, words fail me.

This is one of those times.

What a difference one week makes! Here are a few of the swallowtail caterpillars (7) that I have eating, and growing like crazy.

It’s almost time to put them in a larger habitat!

I’m hoping for at least 30 now that I have new tricks up my sleeve from last year! 🤞🏻

Jeffries: "The use of military force which is offensive in nature must be approved by the House and Senate. That's according to the Constitution. It's not optional, Donald. It's not ... Donald Trump and the administration chose to ignore the Constitution."

I’ve got swallowtails! 🐛🐛🐛

Butterfly summer has arrived!
