Whatcha been doing?
How's your weather, Blogger Buds? Hope Isasias didn't hit you. We got about four inches of rain, so can't complain about that.
The Monarchs have arrived. Nope not the king and queen but the butterflies. They pit stop by about this time of year on their journey. There's a handful of swallowtails left but not many.
AND
The occasional Iris is blooming. What's going on in your garden?
AND
Who's under the towel?
Is it, Louie or Masie?
Nori?
Frank?
Or Callie?
AND last but not least
Frank and The Birthday Card
Porch Pirates
That's all for today, Blogger Buds. Hopefully we'll see each other tomorrow in cyber land.

There is plenty of flowering happening in your garden.
It’s always encouraging when the Monarchs arrive. Here they don’t seem to have been as numerous as in previous years and we haven’t raised any indoors this year.
Nori. Those look like dog feet.
I can't imagine seeing monarch butterflies at this time of year. I'd love to. But in Michigan, we're at the end of our fall before winter starts.
Hahaha, pets are the best. I have one coming up with Marshmallow under a Halloween ghostie blanket. Pets rock.
Very cool on the butterflies!
Love this time of year! LOOOOOVEEEZZZZ it.
Very cool about the butterflies and your flowers. My yard is covered in leaves. We got a couple of inches of rain from the remnants of Isasias. I think Callie is under the towel.
Toronto forecasted to be a record 31C today but I heard rain.
Hi Sandra, rain did make its way here and more is coming in today. I actually saw a monarch butterfly a couple of days ago. It is a bit unusual for here this time of year. Not sure why it hasn't migrated.
Beautiful photos, Sandra! We are getting heavy rain today here in Montreal, it is chilly, too...typical Autumn weather. The colours are beautiful.
Pets do rock for sure, Ivy. Looking forward to seeing Marshmallow:)
Got him coming up for a Wordless Wednesday. He's all wrapped an an Aldi Halloween blanket OMG. I can't stand the cuteness.
Hi True, Hope the rain is gentle. You are so right about that monarch. It's several states behind on its journey. I'd be curious to hear if it hung around or moved on. Toes-crossed it will be alright.
I will say it is Frank under the blanket and he just loves that card..lol. we had more monarchs this year whi h is nice to see. We have Salvia and our butterfly bush still blooming and the bees love it. Our garden is a mess due to the fence debacle last year. Hubby will attack k it next year.
I love that these bozos steal a package and then get angry when they get pink puffed. Go ahead, call the cops and I'd be calling them already 'cos that one.idiot also threatened me so I can charge him.
Hi Andrew, The last push before the freeze:)
David, I didn't know you raised butterflies or if I did I forgot, though I'm not surprised. Good on you. I want to say our numbers look about the same. Not huge but enough to enjoying watching.
Ding. Ding. Ding. Good job. It was Nori.
Hi Natalie, Do you see monarchs earlier in the year? Good luck with your crepe myrtle.
Heading over now:) Can't wait to see him.
He's a lot of fun. Really good pup. This is his third (and final), home.
I just love the photos of all the cats -- and I'm Team Frank! You have quite the glorious menagerie!
Hey CJ, I don't think we are too far away from the great leaf fall here. Do you blow them yourselves or get someone to do it for you? If I can get a leaf mulcher, I'm going to try vacuuming and mulching them this year.
Good guess on 'who is under the towel'. With the white paws, it does look like it. It's actually Nori.
Wow, Christine. That's pretty warm.
I love to see the monarches and all the butterflies! Cute kitty pics too. They look comfy xo
He's ended up with a wonderful one;)
Thanks, Linda. I bet your colors are glorious. Enjoy them.
Hey Birgit, Frank's a good guess because of the white paws, but it's Nori:) I did get a kick out of him playing with that card while the cats were singing:) And the other vid, you just have to shake your head at the thieves reaction.
I love butterfly bushes. Salvia is nice too.
Have a fun, pain-free weekend.
So nice to see the butterflies.
All the best Jan
Hey Jeanie, Thank you:) Frank will be pleased:)
The butterflies are glorious aren't they, Denise? Glad you like the kitty pics xo
Hi Jan, Butterflies are a true joy, aren't they?
