Today our yard was filled with more butterflies than we've ever seen before and most of the flower they were landing on were the milkweeds. I haven't seen this many butterflies in one space for years.

Saturday, June 23, 2007 Butterfly days of summer
Ann and I love to watch butterflies and about 10 years ago we started planting the kinds of flowers in our gardens that might attract them. We had lots of butterfly bushes for a while, but winters are hard on them and one year they all were killed. We gave up on the zone 5 butterfly bushes after that. We planted some milkweed and after a decade they have started to take over our whole yard. We have to pull them out to keep some areas open for other plants. I've been planning to pull out even more of them this week until today.
