Happy Mother’s Day!

Dahlia.

Happy Mother’s Day–dedicated to my mom.

This poem was tacked to the bulletin board in our kitchen.

My dad and mom with the triplets.

Me, my mom and my son.

Grandma and granddaughter (my Plus One), matching.

I hope you have a lovely day, hon. 

Butterfly Video

Eastern Tiger Swallowtail

I planned to post this video on Valentine’s Day because I set the footage to Michael Jackson’s “Butterflies,” but then I baked Valentines cookies.  Enough said.

Every fall, migrating butterflies stop to feed on our butterfly bushes. Hon, hope you like this short butterfly video (1 minute, 27 seconds) of Monarchs, Swallowtails, a Clear Winged Hummingbird moth, another moth I haven’t identified yet and even a grasshopper (who knew?).  If close-ups of insects give you the heebie jeebies, don’t watch.  For the rest of you, enjoy!

Who’s ready for spring?
