The Garden at the State Fair of Texas

I was at the farm store buying supplies for Maverick and saw a pamphlet on Butterflies at the State Fair. I love butterflies and have on my to do list to learn how to raise them one day...probably after my gladiating days as a horsewoman start to peter out.

David and I took a couple of days off from work and went to the gardens at the Stake Fair. It was after the fair was over, but that is ok. Too much of a good thing can be a case for overdoing....we can do the state fair thing next year.

Here are of few interesting pics from our visit and the gardens with butterflies all over the place. It was really pretty.
