Butterfly Bait.

Butterfly Bait. This is a type of milk weed that has infested our pasture. I missed getting a picture of the swarm of monarch butterflies that came in the week before I took this. I had gone out to mow, but Susan wouldn't let me mow this patch! Not gonna get a good crop of hay yer after year with farming practices like this, but the butterflies are happy!

Allison took this photo. I love the color. I need to send her out on photo taking trips more often! My work has kept me so busy these past few years, I am relying on Susan and the kids to keep up with the farm chores. Our plans for building a timber-frame barn have been put on hold due to my stiff work schedule. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, however. Help is on the way at work!
