Reading here i was taking the mood that doing business is not always what it is about , One thing that comes to mind is this , for some of us that have been around a while , remembering all the ditches and roadside drainage areas that use to have been , You could drive through any city , along any road , and their would be wildflowers and plants for forage ,
Because of mosquitoes , and people , when roads are built , houses are built , most places now are flat , from road to door , one small example that has a huge impact on wildlife ,
That four or five feet that is not there any longer across this entire country, sprayed for at least 4 decades , has had to have impact ,
One of those little things .
Every time a new or old gardener , sets in a butterfly garden , it is a good , But in the view I just expressed , it is like gas a station on millions of miles of road , it helps , but it is not a solve ,
However ,if the weigh stations for the critters last ,it is and will have an impact ,

you know , proof reading this about so brief a thought, about such a small thing , makes me sound really long winded , Blinking Hilarious!
In the Butterfly garden if a plant is not chewed up I feel like a failure
