It has come to my attention that butterflies are being bred and sold for release at weddings, etc. They range in price from 65.00 to 100.00 per dozen in containers that release a bunch, or about 12.00 each in personalized envelopes. I wanted to buy some butterflies, we seem to have a shortage here where I live. So I e-mailed a place and they said Washington doesn't allow you to buy butterflies from out of state. Maybe that is what our apple maggot quarantine is about?
At any rate, I am a little disappointed that I can't get flutterbees for my garden. I have learned they love milkweed for their larvae to eat. I am prepared to plant milkweed for butterflies to come live with me.

Invasion of the slugs
Last year I planted some sunflowers. They grew up to about 4 feet, and had nice heads on them, the stalks were think, about 1.5 inches round. The next day, the head was gone on 2 of them, soon they all disapeared. Where is that slug, he must be some predator by now, eating his way to the tropics to find more and more food to feed his expanding girth! Ok,. so maybe it isn't one 5 ft long slug, but a pack of slugs. you don't want them in your neighborhood!

Illustration friday," ALONE," plus...Spring and Summer Calendar for arts workshops
Madame Butterfly is what happened when I was ,"ALONE", Ever been alone playing, and wondering if anyone was looking? That is what she is wondering....is anybody looking? my 2nd Illustrator attempt...
I have been compiling lists and calendars for the upcoming raku workshops, kids camps, and private students I am taking on beginning May.
I have a 3-month calendar ready, and it looks full. Wow, is it ever easier to make a calendar than what you are proposing, but I would prefer to be in the thick of it.
In May I begin with adult raku workshops, ( 2 evenings a week) and semi private classes of a 9 week duration, ( twice a week). In mid June I add kids camp, twice a day, three days a week to that schedule, for a month extending into July. After that I will be going to Alaska on the ferry for up to 3 weeks, then back for more classes I have not yet scheduled. Last 2 weeks of August I will take on new students again for fall, begin raku again, and do more of my reiki work. And, of course, my art work will be something I will make sometime….during those busy days.
I am looking for a really nice canopy for the back yard for over the raku kiln (since it ”might rain.”) You think?
Am also considering family backpack trips so that people will know hw to take their kids to places that really count this year, and teaching them skills to be out in nature together appreciating nature, and each other. I really look forward to these weekends this summer.
All in all, it appears that it will be a busy summertime, gearing up to fall, and winter when I will have more time to work with students and make lots of art work to sell come spring.
