My name is Michelle. I live in WV in a mostly rural area. I used to write for two small newspapers and made and sold tatted lace Christmas ornaments at various places. I love animals and nature.
I lost my butterfly book. Can someone tell me what this one is? I think it just merged.

I have had a holly bush for many years and this is the first summer it has had more than a few berries
Birds will love them this winter.

Late September. With the recent rain, my impatiens are still beautiful.
Everybody have a nice evening.

I had another Monarch emerge today. There it is getting fueled up for the long trip ahead. This monarch is welcome, the one inhabiting the White House is not

Today 2 of the monarch caterpillars I watched munch on milkweed for days emerged from their pupas and we're happily visiting the zinnias. Here's one of them

They can eat a lot. You can see them just munching away. I can't find the pupas so I just have to hope to see them. I'm pretty sure I had one a week ago. I learned one thing, lady bugs eat young caterpillars.

I have been working to increase the monarch butterfly population .
Last couple years have been bad. This year looking better. Two flying around my Zinnias. Hope they produce some young.

I don't have a lot of pretty flowers, but I love each one of them.
