Little E and I made our weekly walk to Barnes and Noble today where we read many Dr. Seuss books which is why I am now channeling him. I am cherishing these walks right now because I know it is not long before it is just too dang hot.
Is anyone else having the most amazing butterfly season or is it just my area? I have never seen so many butterflies flying about in my life. There were a few trees I walked by with literally about 30 butterflies fluttering around
If you can’t tell I LOVE butterflies, Eva’s room is covered in them, and I was delighted to be walking amongst these beauties today. Every bush or tree we would walk by they would flutter out all at once and dance around us. I love how two will fly together and chase each other through the wind.
I think they really are God’s perfect creature.

Yes! I’m seeing them in Florida too. Today while my neighbor and I were chatting Monarchs were feasting on her flowers. I was so inspired by butterflies today that I went out and bought an Adirondack chair from a man in my neighborhood.
I’ll probably Lance about the chair tomorrow morning, while sitting in it drinking coffee.

Ruthie,
I hope you see some soon!
Andrea,
I’m right outside Phoenix, def. no snow here!
Victoria,
Those sound delightful…I’ll have to admire from afar because usually I would have run out and bought them!
Heidi,
I’ll be looking forward to that post!
Mom,
Wish you could have been there.

No butterflies yet in Illinois. Anxiously awaiting them!

Plant some milkweed in your yard and watch for the monarch’s to come and lay their eggs. We raise monarch butterflies each year and each is miracle!! If you don’t get monarch’s by you, do some research and plant host plants for the butterflies that visit you–it is really something to see!
