Have you all been observing an unusually high number of butterflies this spring? On Sunday, my parents and I counted literally dozens of butterflies feasting over phlox and azaleas. We didn't remember ever having seen such a profusion of butterflies in recent years. It just could have been a matter of being in the right place at the right time, but I thought to ask here...

I'll be sure and let you know, when spring comes in.

I saw my first butterfly of the spring today. It will be a few weeks before any population explosion of insects becomes apparent ... most of the critters prefer to remain hidden until the frost danger is minimal.

I saw quite a few in Puerto Rico, but am unsure how many are to be expected there. I will see if I can find out.

We continue to see hoards of butterflies. Quite amazing. The flowers must be unusually sweet this spring!

The sky is falling, Bingley? (Believe me--I'm just trying to avoid grappling with what could be the too bitter possibilities.)
