Dear Furiends,
I’m planning for spring because three very important things have happened: we’ve received seed catalogues; we’re having a cold spell (do NOT listen to the idiots who claim global warming!); and I miss our insects and butterflies. As you’ll recall, the humans sprayed poison to kill mosquitoes that might carry zika virus, last year & apparently that dreadful stuff killed off a lot more than those mosquitoes. I’ve been able to count the number of birds and butterflies I saw last year on my two front paws… I have four toes on each paw.) M and I really, really miss watching birds and butterflies, so I’m planning to plant flowers that butterflies love. In order to know which seeds to buy, I referred to this chart, which Mr. M discovered on Pinterest, and thought you might find it useful, too.
Did you notice that catmint was on the list?!? I didn’t know butterflies were such connoisseurs.

They’re fun to chase, too! Not as fun as lizards or snakes, but still fun and a lot prettier. >^.^<

Great list. We ended up with quite a few monarchs because we let the hideous milkweed grow everywhere for them. We also had a lot of butterflies going to our bee balm. I hope you get to see more flying creatures this year, that is a shame that the poisons effected more than the mosquitoes.

We had 4 butterflies in our yard in 2017… M is convinced the spraying fo zika mosquitoes killed our butterflies, but I dare to home some survived and they will return. >^.^<

In this cat’s opinion, butterflies are better entertainment than the TV. More peaceful, too. >^.^<
