Agreeing On Butterflies

Three sage faeries crept out of the tall grasses of the Avalon The air was ripe with dew, it was the beginning of fawn How many butterflies shall we grace the meadow with today? They debated this solemnly, it was their assignment in May. Sixteen monarchs, a dewberry wing, and Luna moths one suggested. That is way too many for Avalon, the oldest faerie protested. How many do you think? The youngest one asked with a wink. They agreed to ten monarchs, a dew wing and one Luna moth – pink.

That's more than I see in my meadow in an afternoon! My friend Shane's butterfly garden is alive with monarchs right now. Seems they like the milkweed blossoms.

I have them all over the place - no idea why - wasps too.
