Camera Critter Saturday Questions Answered

More of the Reiman Butterflies, as you can see from this post and my previous ones I love the  butterfly house!  I can't wait to go for my birthday in December when they will also have their Christmas display in the conservatory.

The answer to this week's question is:  I love dogs and have 3, a boxer Quasi Boy who is almost 12, he was adopted by us from Midwest Boxer Rescue at the age of 5, Erin and Rosie are two Cavaliers, Erin is 7 and Rosie is 2.    I also love cats and have 2, Callie Cat who rode to work under someone's pick-up, she was a tiny little thing so I took her home.  Jon Pickles was picked out my grandson after I had lost my black cat at the age of 17.   I also have a 55 gallon aquarium.

Some of the other questions answered:  Fall is my favorite season, purple is my favorite color, I live in Iowa and started blogging in January of 2007.   

Camera Critter Saturday has become one of my favorite things about blogging so thank you Misty Dawn for doing this for all of us.

The Butterfly House is a wonderful place to visit.  I can't wait for the Christmas display in their conservatory and of course the butterflies.

Reiman Butterflies

We visited the butterfly house at Reiman Gardens last Thursday, we had a great day, they had released lots of new butterflies that morning so our timing was perfect.

Reiman Butterflies

Reiman Gardens in Ames Iowa is one of my favorite places to visit. We try to get there at least 4 times a year or more if possible. I love the butterfly house. I turned the big 6-0 on Dec 19, I took the day off of work because I wanted to go to Reimans, naturally we had one of the many blizzards we have had this winter with 8-10 inches of snow. So it was not meant to be. The butterfly house closes down from Jan 1st to April 1st so I did not have many chances to get there. I did something I rarely do, the following Monday I called in sick and we went to Ames, it was 20 below zero but in the butterfly house it was 80 something. The conservatory was all decked out for Christmas of course. We had a wonderful visit and I am glad I played hooky :).

I took these pictures when we went to Reiman Gardens a few weeks ago. I would go to the Butterfly House every week if possible.

We had another miserable weekend. I planted bedding plants and some new perennials Saturday in the rain, good for transplanting I guess but I froze my heine off. Yesterday the sun did come out about 2 but there was a north wind that made it feel much colder, I planted several herb plants and cleaned off my herb bed so I did get quite a bit done this weekend.
