August Butterfly Garden

We need rain. Everything is beginning to look dry, other then that the garden is doing great and as planned something is always blooming. We have several butterflies, birds, and dragonflies that are regular vistors. I have been unable to get a picture of the hummingbirds (they are fast darn it). We have a whole pile of caterpillars in the oak tree, which will soon be leafless. You can actually hear the caterpillars chewing when you walk under the tree.

Alastriona, The Cats and Dogs said...: It has helped us heal. It is such a peaceful spot, with the butterflies flitting around and the birds chirping.

The cats love playing down there, they like hiding in all the greenery.; 8/30/2007 7:07 AM

Alastriona, The Cats and Dogs said...: Janet you garden sounds nice too. I want to get some catmint.

Daisy, Charybdis & Scylla said they would love for you to play in the garden with them. Especially if you are a nice big cat like Socks and let them pounce on you.

Samantha & Tigger pics have been posted, and Charybdis & Scylla even wrote the post to go with the pics.; 8/30/2007 4:29 PM
