Black Swallowtail Butterfly






I'mmmmm baccccck......................................................:). It has been awhile since I have had a chance or the inspiration to blog. Since the flood consumed my whole life and every free moment, the moments that were not taken over by the repair work were eaten up by stress. But it is all done now...........finally. What a terrible summer. I'm glad fall is here, winter is even not looking too bad :).
The last two summers I have planted an herb bed with fennel to attract black swallowtail butterflies, it worked! This year I brought one inside to watch it spin it's cocoon and hopefully turn into a butterfly. I am thrilled to say that is was a success and fun to watch, we released the butterfly into the same herb bed, it merrily flew away. I am going to do the same thing next year, my daughter in law who teaches kindergarten wants one for her classroom.
I noticed the dashboard for blogging looks all different so I am off to check that out and see what this follow thing is all about..........
