Some of my nature sightings were at home today:

And now back to our regularly scheduled program at BHCL:
In the afternoon, I saw lots of Eastern Tailed-Blues.

Found it! Common Vetch (ha ha, figures!)
Alternate-Leaved Dogwood
(Thanks to Josh for the ID!)
There are several of these trees in bloom now on the property.
poss. Phaneta umbrastriana
Dwarf Cinquefoil (yellow) with a little Clover for contrast
Eastern Tailed-Blue
Spotted Cranesbill
Blue-Eyed Grass
Whorled Bedstraw (Galium mollugo)
(Thanks to Josh for suggesting the genus for this plant!)
Black Swallowtail
Buttercups
Song Sparrow
Maple-Leaved Viburnum
(Thanks to Rosemary and Freddie for the ID!)
I only took one photo on my evening walk, and it is the last one, above. Something pretty flowering along the edge of the woods.
So now all mysteries except the caterpillar have been solved thanks to my on-line friends! I really do appreciate your assistance!
I think the flowering tree (pictured after Common Vetch) is Alternate-leaved Dogwood (Swida alternifolia). As for mystery #3, try looking up the genus Galium.
