'We are like butterflies who flutter for a day and think it is forever'...Carl Sagan

I enjoy traveling, tending my 3 bluebird boxes in the breeding season, bird watching, taking walks with my hubby, light flower gardening and just sitting on the deck on a warm sunny day. My paternal family history (U.S.) began in Rogersville, Sneedville and Kyles Ford, TN and then moved northward to settle in western Howard County, MD. I am now enjoying life in the warm state of South Carolina.

For the butterflies and bees, please plant native nectar-rich blooming plants that are free of systemic pesticides and are from reputable growers. Use only non-GMO seeds. Avoid using pesticides in your yard, trees and flowerbeds.
