Well, Things have been moving slowly on the butterfly garden. Seems that with the economy I am spending 27 hours a day chasing work. It's paying off so hopefully I can have some time to relax and take a diversion from work.
I have gotten as far as picking a spot. Its where I cut down an old tree that died. Full sun lots of weeds :eek::eek: Cut the weeds and a dump truck load of top soil and I'm on my way!!! No promises on a schedule but it's a start. ![]() ![]()

What an absolutely beautiful wildflower garden. Why ever would you want to change it... chuckle... snicker... cackle.... I wouldn't let any of those beautiful wildflowers go to seed.

No I have been in deep thought now about the differences between butterflies and moths.
Also I need to get a truck of soil but it has been so wet (had another couple inches of rain last night) that I cant get good soil and cant get the truck to the garden!!!! It has rained a lot this year which has done wonders for the plants but made certain other things difficult. ![]()

The entire midwest is getting hammered... day in... and day out. You aren't alone. I have a very basic book on butterflies and moths by Golden Guide. It's small and easy to use. It outlines the differences and helps you identify common butterflies and moths.

It would be nice if the rain let up. It's getting awfully mushy.

The trees sure look nice. My large trees look great. The rain has sure helped them. The only one that doesn't look so good is my beautiful Maple tree.
