Center Bucks Seniors Get Their Wings


Recently I had the pleasure of speaking to the Bucks County Association for Retired & Senior Citizens. It was great to find a bunch of fun loving folks and we had a ball.
The Central Bucks Senior Center is a lovely hall to hold a program and everyone brought along their sense of humor which equals a very enjoyable afternoon. It was good to find so many people concerned about the welfare of butterflies. So not only did we cover the fun facts, myths and delightful stories about butterflies but we also covered making gardens more butterfly friendly. Everyone was also shown how to care for and nurture butterflies by using simple household items. They were then encouraged to release their newly emerged butterflies into their gardens to help increase local populations.

We had a lot of fun during the program but speaking to everyone one on one afterwards was just as delightful as the program. I have to give out a GREAT BIG THANK YOU to Barbara Case for giving me a huge hand crafted, hand painted wooden butterfly. It is 2 feet by 2 feet and quite impressive. I think it took a good five minutes after I returned home before it was proudly hung inside my butterfly flight house. Now after the day is done and I sit back inside the flight house I can watch my butterflies glissade around Barbara’s beautiful Blue butterfly. Thanks again Barbara!
