Maybe I'm just not very observant but after all, I'm looking down a lot
-digging, weeding, planting, mulching - but I saw my first butterfly today.
It was my yellow swallowtail showing up to her host plant, Zizia (Golden
Alexanders) which is in full bloom now. Always makes me smile. 

 

The weather is fantastic, 68°F, blue skies and a light breeze. Just planted
a bed of 7 different Baptisias with several other lower plants between them
as it's going to take several years for the Bs to establish. Took me longer
than I thought, but then everything seems to take longer to accomplish these
days.

 

So, anything you'd care to share?
