Nothing says summer like they do, remember catching Monarch butterflies as a kid. (Ok the firefly is top of that list) Try to find a Monarch now, saw only one this year. I think the states are planting milkweed all up and down the interstates to try and bring back the Monarch butterflies. I even got a kid in our neighborhood into doing this as well, he was really into it I just gave him a nudge and some info. But these things are going away, we used to have many frogs and even more butterflies than we do now here. Plant dill and fennel now to help bring them back. Here it is.
