Well guess what? The weather wasn’t favorable for baling hay again so I spent the night in the kitchen and garden working on canning tomato salsa. I’ll have to publish the recipe because it worked out really well for me! I’m also hoping that all the jars will seal tonight because I’ve got quite a few of them! 
And after I got the kitchen somewhat cleaned up, out to the garden I went to get more tomatoes for the next batches.
Waiting to be washed and then canned for the winter months
While I was out there I saw this cool looking caterpillar and I wasn’t just sure what he would grow up to be. 
He was on the parsley in the garden and after I checked up on him, he will become a Black Swallowtail Butterfly. Pretty Cool! I found this picture on the web to show you just how pretty this butterfly actually is.

Now I sure hope the chickens don’t sneak into the garden and eat him!!
When I was trying to get a picture of him he would kinda stand on his back legs and these funny antennas would go up. I guess it was his way of looking tough or something! To me it looked like a fancy girly bow 🙂 
Even though I haven’t used the parsley for anything much yet this year in my garden, I guess it did come in handy for something!
