We've actually been back from our vacation for a week now. It's taken that long to get back into the groove of being home and doing activities. It still feels like summer vacation. Just before we left for our trip A.-girl and I decided to give the Bees and Butterflies a place to take a bath. The birds can't have all the fun! I had a couple of bucket-fulls of nice smooth river rocks that were used as table decorations at our wedding. They had been sitting around doing nothing so why not become landing pads for Bees and Butterflies to take a drink, cool down and maybe bathe? We also used a beautiful blue ceramic pot tray and a low birdbath holder ( at least that's what I think it is)
All A. had to do was put the rocks in the tray...
(We figured the family rock was one of the most important)
Then put in some water...
and leave the rock tops above the water for the little guys to land on,
and then wait... and wait... and wait...
We're still waiting. No bees or butterflies have graced our bath. Possibly we'll move it to a high bee populated area like under the Sedum plant in the front yard. A.-girl wonders if the water is too cold!?

I love to work with homeschoolers. Please stop by for a visit.
Yeah good to see you're back. This is so sweet. I love that last picture. I was going to suggest putting something sweet in the water but then you'll be sure to attract wasps!x
