Show and Tell



Yay-it's finally Friday and that means it's time for Show and Tell. If you would like to join the fun, please visit Kelli's blog and leave a link to your post.

My show and tell for this week are these visitors to our butterfly bush. These are monarch butterflies and I've been getting dozens of these pretty winged creatures lately. They migrate to Mexico in the fall and since I live in NJ they still have quite a distance to go. I'm glad they are stopping by here along their journey for a snack:




They must be really hungry because they don't seem to mind having their picture taken:



Looks like I have some serious pruning to do on that butterfly bush!
There's still some action going on in my flower garden. This Autumn Fire sedum has just begun to bloom:




Thank you for visiting and looking at my Show and Tell

There all beautiful, the bushes and the butterflies! Each year, I say I will plant something to attract butterflies, but have never done it yet. Shame on me!
