On
Saturday July 26 the sun smiled down on Enger Park and
we smiled at the butterflies. Our Muriel Shirey Memorial
Butterfly Count attracted 16 people, including 2 from the Duluth News Tribune and one
from TV Channel 6. Temperatures approached 90 degrees and the humidity was high,
but the rain showers in the forecast stayed away. |
