A craptacular week...

Sorry to hear about your butterfies. Last year we had numerous butterflies of different species flitting about. This year, very few. Then, too, last year we had bees covering just about every plant that bloomed; this year, very few. ( I like bees, especially the big bumblers. Although, I talk to the honey bees quite a bit, too.) Perhaps a word of encouragement to your remaining cocoon would be helpful. And, no, i'm not poking fun at you. I'm serious! I really do talk to bees.

sadly, they all had parasites and other disease beyond my control, so there was nothing i could do for either of them. I guess sometimes you just can't win.
