We have been absolutely inundated with the most beautiful butterflies this year in our yard! It must be God's way of thanking us for all the hard work on our yard, to bless us with these gorgeous bright colored creatures that float through the air from flower to flower. Every morning when I walk out the front door, I'm amazed at how many of them there are! Little ones, big ones, orange, brown, and bright blue. The bright blue ones seem to be the most plentiful so I had to look them up online to see what they were called. They're called Pipevine Swallowtails and from the numbers of them fluttering around our yard, there must have been an awful big nest of them in one of our nearby trees. They seem to love all the flowers we've got for them to feast on, and they make such a pretty picture as they light from one to the next. Red geraniums, blue salvia, orange marigolds, pink verbena, yellow daisies, purple petunias and rust colored lantana. Between the flowers and the beautiful butterflies, our yard is a rainbow of beauty!
