Butterflies Please Come See Us!!

Last week one of our school projects was to put in a new butterfly garden. The Oreos took to this with great intensity which was fun to watch! They know all the names of the plants, and which ones are feeding plants and which are larva ones. So far we've seen a few butterflies and a few ladybugs 'in the neighborhood'...which makes the girls S-Q-U-E-A-L with delight! Leni wants to catch all of them and make them her personal pets...which we've had to put a damper on...but all in all...a great project to do with your kids! And...a funny. One of the best Florida butterfly plants is Lantana. It comes in all sorts of colors and spreads like crazy. Katie can't seem to grasp the name...so therefore calls it 'Hannah-tana'. Don't understand why she can say 'Hannah Montana' but can't say 'Lantana' but it sure is cute to hear her try!! Now we're off....back to diggin in the dirt! We have green beans to plant today!!
