Subject: [MassLep] Yet more towns

We continued our tour of less recently visited towns. All in all very
nice weather, but a disappointing list of butterflies. We repeatedly
failed to find skippers in spite of available flowers, particularly cow
vetch. We even checked out a nursery with butterfly bushes and failed
there as well. Our most common butterfly (and sometimes only butterfly)
was cabbage white and we were lucky to find it where we did.
