Normally we have a few 60 degree days in November. I know I will see some bees and maybe if I am lucky a few butterflies will come out for drinks. I keep bananas in the freezer for the warm winter days. I just heat them in the micro wave for 30 seconds and set them out. Many of the butterlfies over winter as adults. They enjoy a sweet banana drink as do the bees.<BR/>I also will miss the bugs once Winter sets in.<BR/>SherryQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02473455565144414399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27765182.post-18866899752511427792008-10-21T21:52:00.000-05:002008-10-21T21:52:00.000-05:00Dear Meems,It is always fun to go bug hunting!The ...Dear Meems,<BR/>It is always fun to go bug hunting!<BR/>The Hummingbird moths are fast!<BR/>Getting "stop action" to work took a few tries!<BR/>Thank goodness for digital photography.<BR/>SherryQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02473455565144414399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27765182.post-58525197374818225582008-10-21T21:49:00.000-05:002008-10-21T21:49:00.000-05:00Dear Grammy,Humm...I do not know.
