1) Memorial Day is just one day (always the last Monday in May), but some people do go out of town for the long weekend. We had our picnic on Sunday, and the weather was grand!
2) In my part of the US (it varies greatly), the school year goes until June 20-something every year.
3) The WAD words have been yawners all week - scrannel?
4) I haven't check the butterflies, but I know we have Cabbage Whites and probably the tortoise shell ones. We also get Monarchs (love those!) and lots that nobody pays any attention. We also get Luna moths, and they are big suckers! They're only out at night, though. Not any that are really blue.
