St. John’s Lutheran Church – N. of Ellis, KS  1921

This beautiful church is located on a blacktop road north of Ellis county.  Built in 1921, it offers Sunday school at 9:30 and worship at 10:30.

 

No plumbing, his and hers outhouses.

 

Finally Butterflies

They aren’t quite butterflies yet, but I was so excited when I found the monarch caterpillars!!  I planted the butterfly garden a few years ago and this year we have SO many butterflies.  I also found 10 caterpillars on my parsley.

 

We haven’t had the monarch butterflies yet, but we have hundreds (and hundreds) of Painted Lady butterflies.  They are enjoying the Rough Blaze Star, one of the native plants that I bought at the Arboretum of the Plains in Hesston, KS at their spring sale.  Their fall sale is this weekend.  You can bet I will be there!!
