WANNADO CITY

Boo Boo had so much fun at Wannado City. What an amazing place. I think it is probably best for six years and older, but we still spent 4 hours and had a blast. Here are some photos of Boo Boo's "jobs" at John Casablanca Modeling Agency, Publix, Ringling Brothers/Barnum and Baily Circus, a jewelry store and finally spending some of her "money" on riding the carousel. She made much more "money" than she spent there ... go figure ;-) Hmmm ... probably won't be the case when she gets a bit older.

BUTTERFLIES ARE COMING

After returning from our trip home to Georgia, we were greeted by many, many eggs and caterpillars on our plants. We are now hosting 5 different butterflies: our milkweed hosts Monarchs; our dill, parsley and fennel host Black Swallowtails; our Passionvine hosts Gulf Fritillaries; our Corky Passionvine hosts Zebra Longwings; and our Cassius hosts Cloudless Sulphurs. We have brought several of each type of eggs/caterpillars indoors for rearing ... so it is busy here around Boo Boo's Butterfly Land! We'll keep you posted with pictures as things progress.

BOO BOO DAREDEVIL

Well, this is one of those moments where I thought for sure Boo Boo would stick close to my side and not want to take a risk ... hmmm ... I was wrong. She took one look at the bungee/trampoline contraption at Callaway Gardens and she was ready to jump. With a thrilled look on her face she kept asking the attendent to send her "higher!" ... "higher!!". Look out Florida State University Flying High Circus ... little Boo Boo might be your next star somewhere around 2023!

WHITE PEACOCKS ARE HERE

THE BUTTERFLY GARDEN IS GROWING

Our garden is certainly attracting all types of butterflies now. We have many, many Monarchs fluttering about, Black Swallotails, Zebra Longwings, Buckeyes and now Gulf Fritillarys are laying eggs on our beautiful Passion Flower vine. We are just waiting for the Zebra Longwings to find it :-)

WESTON RAINFOREST

Okay, this is the tree where he lives and this is a picture after being awake ALL NIGHT listening to Mr. Tree Frog's beautiful, but LOUD songs. Being Waldorfy as I am, I love singing all throughout the house and garden. But, not at 2AM!!!!! Does anyone specialize in "Loving, Tree Frog Relocation Programs"?
