It's Tuesday

 Happy Tuesday, blogger buds. What's new in your corner of the world?

We have a couple of black swallowtails now intermingled with the yellow swallowtails. There is one black and one yellow that are always dancing around.  We can't tell if it's a turf thing or a romance:)

A couple more garden pics. I didn't realize Mr. Frog's leg was so dirty:)

And...Lookee. Lookee. This is the third time this year for this Iris to bloom. I've never heard of an Iris blooming three times in a year.  Have you ever had one do that?


AND
One of the SILs sent this vid out. I got a huge kick out of it and think you will too.

So do you have your dancing shoes on or your gardening boots?:)

Happy Tuesday to you Sandra. We've still got more holiday makers than usual due to people not back at work.

Keep well.
Yvonne.

Definitely my gardening boots. Of course.
I have never had an iris bloom that many times. And envy you.

You are rather good at capturing butterfly images. Love Mr Frog. I'll watch the video later.

Cute video. Love it. Happy Tuesday.

I remember that video!

CJ Kennedy said...

I haven't seen butterflies in my garden. Sad face. Those are beautiful as is the iris. Never heard of them blooming more than once. Christopher Walken's dance was a good way to start the week. Enjoy your day

Christine said...

I did not picture Walken as a dancer! Lovely garden photos.

L. Diane Wolfe said...

Our iris only bloomed once.

I rarely see the yellow swallowtails but the black ones are all over here.

Jamie Ghione said...

Love the frog. The video was fun.

Sandra Cox said...

Hope Mr. Frog listens:) Heh.
Thanks for stopping by Sophea.

Sandra Cox said...

They definitely brighten a day, don't they, Lon?

Sandra Cox said...

Heh. Mr. Froggie thanks you, Val.
Hugs received and returned.

Jeanie said...

Neither! I have on my flip flops! Too rainy to garden, though I'd happily dance in the flippies. Can't believe your iris. I can rarely get mine to bloom once! And love your Create ball! Butterflies make me smile!

the butterflies are awesome; few are ever seen around here anymore

the video was fun; thanx for sharing ! ☺☺♥3

RO said...

I have a purple thumb, so you'll definitely catch me doing more dancing than gardening! (lol) Don't you just love Christopher Walken? Great way to get moving on this Terrific Tuesday! RO

Happy Tuesday Sandra, I am enjoying a bit of late summer warmth. The trees are slowly changing and it's getting dark earlier. sigh...

Birgit said...

Hope you had a lovely long weekend. I would have dancing shoes on because I love to dance but haven’t danced in a long time. I leave the gardening boots for my hubby who has the green thumb. Your garden picks are very pretty and love the butterfly. We have them too but, right now, we see a lot of monarchs and they dance and dance together( I like to think that rather than fight). We have butterfly bushes and milkweed for them. Love that video and, Walken was in musical theatre when he started out. I bet, if it was the 1930s and 40s, he would be like James Cagney, making gangster films but musicals as well.

Hi Sandra - that Black Swallowtail is just beautiful ... fun seeing the rest - thank you - Hilary

Sandra Cox said...

And to you, Yvonne. Stay safe:)

Sandra Cox said...

It's probably a separate stalk from the one that bloomed mid-summer, but I'm still stunned.
I need some new gardening boots:)

Sandra Cox said...

Why thank you. It helps when they hold still:)
Glad you enjoy Mr. Frog.
Take special care.

Sandra Cox said...

Isn't that a hoot?
Hope your Tuesday was a good one.

Sandra Cox said...

Somehow, I missed it.

Sandra Cox said...

Well darn. Hopefully, some will be visiting you soon.
Walken's got the moves doesn't he?;)
Thanks, CJ. You enjoy yours as well.

Sandra Cox said...

I didn't either. Which makes it all the better doesn't it:)

Sandra Cox said...

Both are awfully pretty aren't they.

Sandra Cox said...

Good to hear:)

Sandra Cox said...

Butterflies have that affect don't they?;)

Sandra Cox said...

I hate to hear that you aren't getting many butterflies:(
Glad you liked the vid.

Sandra Cox said...

I'd love to catch you doing some dancing;)
Yes, Christopher Walken is great.

Sandra Cox said...

Summer warmth and trees changing sounds good. Getting dark early, not so much:)

Sandra Cox said...

I did not realize he started out in musical theatre. Who'd a thought.
Sounds like you have tons of butterflies in your beautiful garden.
Hope you had a great weekend too.

Sandra Cox said...

Entirely my pleasure:)

I do like your Mr Frog.
Thanks for the video, enjoyed it :)

All the best Jan

Great minds think and dance alike! Only just a couple of days ago I played that Christopher Walken video...it's been ages since I'd seen it...lots of fun! :)

I love the frog!!
