The Merlin Bird ID app is really useful.

🌱One of the visitors this morning. We are finally getting some rain. I am doing the happy dance.

This is Bently. We've just met. He arrived early this morning with my daughter. I think he's skilled at creating a security blanket.

Our alpha Republican Gov

🌱 I had a new visitor, a White Peacock in the garden.

The feelings are strong

Half-o-ween started my Halloween season. I've resupplied the craft supplies. I don't usually go for cute, but Huey, Dewey, and Marrion crack me up. They glow in the dark.

Welcome to the club. I grow plants to feed bugs!

🌱 Well, that was fun. The heat index is 96, and we have significant smoke from wild fires this morning. Still had to do a search and destroy mission on the incarnatas. About a bizzlion aphids are no longer with us. All for the love of Monarchs.

They are beautiful

I have a palm doing that for him

🌱 My garden is doing so well this year. The firebush is doing its part.

That is absolutely true, but it is worth every butterfly and bee who visits.

🌱It must be a great advantage to be able to eat upside-down or in a curly cue.

🌱 The Giant Milkweed is blooming. Yesterday, a catapiller tried to eat a bud but gave up. Tender tastier leaves were available.

The succulent is blooming. Started from a tiny cutting. 🌱

Gardening is believing in the future. 🌱

Callie times two.

Me too! Just came back from the nursery this morning with more milkweed.

One of my favorites also

Panama Rose ( Rondeleta Stigosa) is about to replace a climbing Lantana in my garden. It has a lovely fragrance in the evening. 🌱

Congratulations! I'm fortunate enough to have 7 emerge this month.
