Black Swallowtail
Within two days, it had formed its chrysalis. In this picture, it is already out. You can see through it since its empty.
Exactly two weeks after we captured the caterpillar, 6yo noticed the butterfly in the jar!

Ten Years and Watermelons
On a totally unrelated note...my friend trimmed my hair for me today and fixed it up in a twist braid. And THEN she brought a yummy watermelon over for us....you know how I've been craving yummy watermelons?Mmmmm.
Easy Homemade Yogurt (or Yoghurt)
After the milk has reached its temperature, take it off the heat and let it cool back down to around 115-125 degrees. Stirring will help it cool a little more quickly- but it still takes a while.
Get the jars out and refrigerate them...that's it. Its never failed me yet...yet. Some don't like to heat the milk up to 180 degrees because it kills all the goodness in raw milk. So far, this is how I've done it...but I'm planning on making "raw" yogurt one of these days by only heating it to 110 degrees.
This is very very easy, but that doesn't mean its very quick. It does take a while, so try it when you'll already be hanging around the kitchen or at least the house.
