Dill sabotage

Yesterday when Little E was enjoying the pool I did my rounds in the garden. I found these Black Swallowtail (Papilio polyxenes) butterfly caterpillars on my dill plants. I thought they were so pretty, so I ran and got my camera. I love their patterns, however they demolished my dill plants. This time there was no relocate and release program.

From My Garden

Loving watching my honey dew grow. Perfect fruit for my macro lens.

From my garden

There is lots of butterfly action in the garden on these hot hot days.

The air is heavy with the scent of honeysuckle

As I walk out the front door I can smell the heavy scent of honeysuckle in the air, and I feel as though summer is almost here.

I have been absent here lately. I hope with the coming months that I will be here more often.

Back Yard Feeding Frenzy

We have set up a few bird feeders outside our back door and have been doing some bird watching.

The birds are franticly hungry with all this snow.

I have the bird book out and am jotting down what we see.

The cardinals are my favorite but they are very shy. Sadie has been watching them like a hawk! So far we have about18 inches on top of the 24 inches we got last weekend. I have to say I have seen enough snow to last me a lifetime.
