I think I may have solved my lack of motivation to gardening problem. I just watched a video on the life cycle of a butterfly. I absolutely love butterflies and definitely want to attract those little buggers to my backyard. Is it bad that once again I am thinking about raiding my neighbors yard for caterpillars? I know she has a bunch on her Purple Passion Flower vine. Okay, I will stay honest and just buy my own Passion Vine. There.. motivation occurring with a sprinkling of being good. The real problem is that there are not a lot of gardening shows anymore. Everything is about flipping houses. No I was not cursing. There are plenty on YouTube though. I just have to be careful not to get sucked in and waste five hours of my day watching videos until my eyes fall out.
