Woodland Butterfly Gardening
The plant selection for the garden to go in the northeast corner of the backyard is complete. I've chosen shrubs and flowering plants in a variety of colors to attract bees, butterflies and hummingbirds. Besides being beautiful, fragrant and relaxing to sit among , these plants will serve as host plants and nectar sources for a myriad of butterfly species. *click photos to enlarge*

My blog title originated from the moniker I used (still use) in the motorcycling community. I have been an active long-distance and touring motorcyclist since I
bought my first motorcycle in 2000. My current ride of choice is a Harley-Davidson Electra Glide, hence the name "girlonaglide". After re-reading the
definitions of girl and glide it dawned on me that the title still fits.
My riding days seem far behind me as I spend more time at my suburban home with my 3 cats, collection of paper art supplies, and husband of 17 years.
We occasionally busy ourselves with projects in the yard, such as growing organic vegetables and maintaining a butterfly garden.
Not often enough, we'll take on DIY projects for our "House of Potential". We bought this little fixer-upper quite some ago and have proven to
ourselves and all who know us that change doesn't happen fast here at our house.
I often daydream of living in or very near mountains where there's snow on the peaks and fertile soil beneath my feet. I'm originally from Indiana; a displaced Hoosier I'll always be.
I really have no business living in Florida but for now it is home.
