This guy who lived next to my grandparents never mowed his lawn and he had six inch grasshoppers in his lawn, it was freaky.

Butterfly garden. That sounds really interesting. So how do you make one? With lots of flowers I guess?
@Joe: I don't know. Haven't had the chance to try it out yet, but I guess he'd do it if I asked him. whee

Lots of flowers, butterfly feeders which you put in a past made of rotten fruit and sugar water, also possibly some humming bird feeders, you could also make a little area which stays muddy so they can get some water.

I bought my son a Secret Message Bean Plant once. It was suppose to sprout, grow into a small bean pod with a message such as "hello", "you're cool", hurray", etc. on it, and then die a few days later. Well ours was psycho and didn't want to die. It kept growing for like two years! It grew into a climbing bean vine thing. I called the customer service number on the package to find out what type of plant it was just in case it was poisonous and the girl was like... uh, I don't know... it isn't suppose to keep growing... its suppose to die right away. That was funny. It was a really pretty plant though with big leaves. Then when I went in to the hospital to have my daughter it didn't get watered for like two weeks. Doh! It died but it put up one heck of a fight! I plan to get some more this spring and plant them outside in the shade.

Humming bird feeders... hmm... I think we won't have those in here. Not that we would even need one since we don't have humming birds. xd The rest sounds really doable. I have to keep this in mind for the future. I love butterflys aswell but you don't see them often in here.

Lol, I know what you are talking about that is really weird and funny. I can't believe they didn't even know what kind of bean it was. O_o
Where do you live Lily?
And if you give them a good place to live you will see them more often.

Haha, yeah, during the winter it does get rather cold. Except the last few years. We haven't had proper winter for some time now and it's starting to take it's toll on the plants, animals and such. They need their winter sleep and so on.

I'm almost always cold, especially my feet I'm getting in the habit of always wearing socks because usually my feet are icy to the touch.
