I am sad... The butterflies have gone where? Further south? More than likely. The winds have kicked up even more today and they definitely have a "northern" bite to them! I absolutely love this weather! My favorite holidays are all coming up and Mother Nature is getting ready to sleep for a period of time.
Just like us - there are parts of us that can lie dormant for awhile and then, re-emerge in all of their glory. Nature teaches us that there are seasons to everything.
If I saw my butterflies every season of the year, they'd become a sort of ho-hum sort of thing. But, since I see them just a few weeks in the Spring and sometimes in the Summer, and these glorious weeks in the Fall, it is like a gift that I know is on its way, but never sure just "when" it will get here!
A lone honeybee was buzzing around my spider's wort this morning. I wonder if he knows where home is. I don't know where they come from to visit my garden or where they go -- but I've been delighted to provide them with nectar! More flowers to plant next year to feed more honeybees!
