We are living for the next couple of months, in an RV Resort in Mission, TX in the Lower Rio Grande Valley. Actually we are only about 8 miles from the Mexican border but this area hasn't seen any violence as yet and we are hoping that it stays that way. This is our view out the back window overlooking our lake.
I love the palm trees and the weather has been just beautiful. The sun may get hot but there always seems to be a breeze to cool things off. The night temps drop down for good sleeping with the windows open...but one day next week it is supposed to only be 56 degrees! I told Gene it's all relative to where you are...56 would sound pretty darn good in Illinois right now!
Today we visited the National Butterfly Center and having been to the Butterfly House in STL, I have to say it was rather different. It was all outdoors and naturalized with plants to draw the butterflies and without them being "caged" they just went everywhere.
There were quite a few varieties but some of the most plentiful were these monarchs and the Queens. It sure is hard to get a picture of butterflies...those buggers just won't stay still!
Just one of the structures that at a different time of the year is covered in a butterfly attracting vine.
A water feature in the park that had butterflies swarming it, but as soon as I turned my camera that way they were gone.
Wow, sounds like a really neat place. Would love to see the butterflies!! We went to the butterfly house in Indy which is a temporary house. When they are done with the exhibit, they ship the critters to St. Louis. Enjoy the weather!! There were 7 of us for dinner tonight. We missed you.
