i made new friends...


...and they are butterflies!  The past few days everytime i go outside ive noticed a 2 small (with a pretty bright orange and white stripe on their wings - much prettier in person than in the pics too) butterflies and today when i took willis out they were flying around us like crazy!  I actually took the dog in a ran and got my camera to take pics - i tried to get the both of them flying around me but that shot it pretty much impossible.  One even landed on my arm!  So needless to say..i have new friends..and they are wayyy better than people!  So now i want a butterfly feeder (if there is such thing)!  I tried snapping a pic while they had their wings open but they kept shutting them...

butterflies only live to about 2 to 5 weeks depending on their species. and yes they are very beautiful, and it is considered good luck if they land on you. but they will never be wayyyy better than my granddaughters (little people), butterflies don't run up to you and hug you and say they love you and miss you and give you a big kiss. that's my opinion. never, never, never.

yes...there are butterfly feeders. And they say butterflies also are drawn to very shallow pools of water..like with rocks in them that stay damp. they like the damp rocks or get water from them, i guess. and there are tons of flowers you can grow in pots that draw butterflies.
Aren't they beautiful? and even the moths are beautiful...we've had blue ones and pale yellow ones and all sorts. Grow a butterfly plant in a pot on your patio!
