The Monarchs are back! The last few years the beautiful orange and black butterflies have been scarce. The butterfly bush and the purple asters along the back fence are now attracting dozens each day. When we go for our daily walk it takes us along a brook between two rows of houses. Some adjoining neighbors planted the communal strip with butterfly attracting flowers. Nothing fancy- just three or four packets of seeds each sown between the sidewalk and drainage. The air is full of monarchs, and four or five other kinds in lesser numbers. So peaceful with the bright flowers and the air full of butterflies. May you find a peaceful spot this week! Thanks for stopping by to share your awesome posts!

Thank you for featuring my White Chocolate Chunk Macadamia Nut Cookies! I have flower beds on both sides of our front walk with abelia bushes and butterflies LOVE them! Besides Monarchs, I also have these big bright blue butterflies! No butterflies in the back yard, but lots of dragonflies there (for some reason). They’ll come right up to you and stare in your face! At the beginning of summer, when they’re “little”, the bodies are translucent and all you see are big black eyes, so they’re a little scary if you don’t know what they are. One even tried to sit on my hand the other day ~ they’re really pretty silly!
