So true Sara I plant scented things to encourage them and I have 3 ponds to take care of them and the birds and dragonflies I love nature hugs Shadow

thanks for stopping by, Shadow, and for sharing. We regularly feed the birds who frequent our yard. Right now they're hiding under the bushes, shielding themselves from the intense northerly winds. Burr! Have a great evening, hugs, Sara

Your words have the power to create a captivating and picturesque scene, dear friend. There is truly nothing more delightful than finding solace in your garden, where you can cherish the rewards of your hard work, all while being enchanted by the graceful dance of butterflies in the air.

thank you, dear Sotto, for stopping by. I agree, there's so much solace Bill and I find in creating our very own 'serenity garden' (as Bill calls it). Wishing you a pleasant evening, Sara

Butterflies always come to petals.. so we grow petals to attract butterflies and bees.. you reminded me of a poem I posted here many years ago, called bees, birds and butterflies.... I hope your garden is full of butterflies in the spring and summer dear poet..

Oh how deep and poetically powerful is that, I absolutely love how you’ve written this and delivered this, the secret is not to chase things or butterflies, but to care for the garden or whats within you so that blessings come your way.. pleasure reading this meaningful poem: as always you’ve expressed in few words in such a soul stirring manner: sending you light always
