Nine days before Christmas and its 75° – Frosty has lost his hat, turned his back to the street, broke his arm, and longs for snow on a Christmas tree that is outside the house….Wait a minute…aren’t these guys supposed to be in Mexico or someplace further south about this time of year? Don’t hold me to it but I think these butterflies are juvenille “Painted Lady”.Yup, that’s a lady bug on my dag-burned backyard dandelion….Maybe they only stopped by for a drink, and they will soon be on their way….I’m thinking Zoey should have snow balls hanging from her beard this time of year instead of pine needles….This is but one of the five or six juvenile “flutterbys” I camera-chased in my backyard this afternoon….Just experimenting with an iPad app….

I found a ladybug on our garden fence today as well. Butterflies and ladybugs in December? Something seems a little off (again) this winter.

I agree – something is awry with this weather of ours…I even have a watchful eye looking for snakes and hornets as I walk about.
