Friends: As I rest and recuperate at home, I’ve paid a
little attention to my butterfly garden, along the southern wall of my
house. It is thriving!

| Gulf Friillary Buterfly |

| Its caterpillar |
During warm daylight hours, when there is a lot
of sunshine, there are plenty of butterflies (broad wing zebras, gulf
fritillaries ... the orange ones ... and if they are around, which is not too often, a gold trimmed polydamus
swallowtail) to see. Very, very rarely,
behind the house, the similar giant swallowtail, with even more gold color trim on most of its wings, can
be seen near the wild pine stump. Monarchs are still elusive.
There also are
many caterpillars from which cocoons form and from which, if they survive, these creatures hatch. Check it out.
And if you’re very lucky, I will be on my patio
if it is nice out where I will say “Hello.”
