A standing height table of beige computers and CRT monitors (well, one black CRT), with a sitting height single computer and printer next to it. Behind the computers are aisles of tall library shelves of color-matched bound books in red, green, and blue. On a nearby column is a sign with direction arrows to Periodical Room, Map Room, and Upper Rotunda (all right arrows).

Andrea remembers her fave Ray Bradbury Quote "“If you try to approach a cat and pick it up, hell, it won’t let you do it.” Instead, as he says, you need to walk away and the cat will follow you. With ideas, the same can be true. If you are having trouble with an idea, walk away. “When they’re off-guard and ready to be born, I’ll turn around and grab them.”

Excerpt from "Gardening for Butterflies and #Pollinators" -- #IowaStateUniversity Cooperative Extension

"Common Pollinators in #Iowa

"Common insect pollinators in Iowa include honey bees [not native, and can compete and overwhelm native bees], #bumblebees, #SolitaryBees, #beetles, #butterflies, #flies, #ants, and #wasps. These insects are not selflessly doing a favor to the flowers. The insects are enticed to do the job with a reward of food. The food is usually nectar (sugar and water) and pollen (protein).

How to Establish a Butterfly or #PollinatorGarden

"Sunny Location

"Locate your garden where it receives the greatest amount of sun exposure possible. Insects such as butterflies and
pollinators are cold-blooded and depend on the sun to warm their bodies. Also, the plants on which butterflies and pollinators depend generally grow better in full sun (six or more hours of sunshine per day).

"Nectar and Pollen Sources

"Different species of butterflies and pollinating insects are active at different times of the year. Therefore
it is important to provide pollen and nectar sources throughout the growing season and offer various flower shapes and sizes. Plant in groups—not rows— to increase the likelihood of butterflies and pollinators finding and choosing your garden for a feeding stop."
