We Feed Butterflies

Outside the kitchen window we feed butterflies and watch them.

Bruised and over ripe fruit plus Gatorade are on the menu.

A cement leaf is glued to a 4 by 4 post tall enough
to make the action visible from inside the kitchen.

The Gatorade is a healthy, hydrating, snack for the butterflies in this heat.

We tried ripe bananas but they brought too many flies.

Butterflies can sense sweetness with their feet; It's true!

It is remarkable, and alternative?
Merry Christmas! :)

Sadly, the butterflies avoided northeast Oklahoma last summer because of the record breaking drought and heat.
We missed their fluttering presence and hope summer 2012 will be more inviting.
