I got the vase for free. It's part of set of 3 glassblown art vases. Got them from a free pile from local estate clear out, a few years ago. I'm good at scoring lots of #freebies & rarely buy anything new.
Frugal is not the same thing as cheap. I'm very frugal with obtaining useful things & quite mindful about how I spend money. I won't buy things just because they're on sale - if it's not anything I need. I won't skimp on quality for some items but will look for things that are used before looking at anything new.
Frugality is a lifestyle for me. My parents taught me how to live frugally & with lower environmental, personal impact.
Life is all about our personal choices. I choose frugal living.
Seems likely they are more "flighty" in the spring and early summer when the flowers are a bit sparser. But if you're patient you'll eventually come across one feeding calmly.

I'm self-taught so it's been a marvelous learning process the past 3+ years. I'm just happy I get to share that experience with others who enjoy nature as much as I do.
@EugestShirley Yes! Though, it's tough to eat many of them fresh, like they recommend. I have been tossing them (cooked!) with eggs for breakfast, and that's pretty good. I suspect you could basically cook them like a leafy green.
