Ketch-Up Day

 

How are you? Is Mother Nature being kind?  We've had about 5.5" of rain over the past couple of weeks which we can definitely use. And I'm hoping we've seen the last of the 100 degree days. The butterflies continue to delight.  There's been about a dozen or so hanging around the butterfly bushes, but I can't get a good group pic of them with my phone. They refuse to cluster together and smile or say cheese.


 


We celebrated friends' birthdays this month.  The garden is between blooms and wouldn't cooperate on floral arrangements so I had to get creative.   And now you know what kind of wine I like:)
 

 Has anyone tried the cake bites? We've all decided this is our new go to for bday cakes. They come in a tray with a mix of lemon, strawberry, chocolate and vanilla bites. We found them at at Lowes Foods.

That's it for our excitement for the week. Butterflies and cake bites.    What about you, blogger bud? What have you been up too?

Hi Sandra - well we could do with your rain ... please send some of it - not all! Glad you're having a good time with friends and family and birthday bites - and thus Happy Birthday to RO. We've had lots of goings on here in E/b ... Red Arrows in a couple of days, while we go through another heat wave - at least it's warm, and we have the coast. Cheers for now and have a good week ahead - Hilary

Uncooperative butterflies? Bad butterflies.
Your wine labels are nice.
The cakes look like a good substitute for adults.
