Ketch-Up Day

So,

I decided to hold off changing out my summer purse till the butterflies were gone.

 Surprisingly, they hung around till about a week ago.  I changed out and two days later saw:

 one lone black swallowtail.  My last sighting.

AND

Tis the season

 ALSO

We had our sweet potato buddy over to install this:

 And he brought us this:)  Any ideas on how to fix it?

 PLUS

The Harvest Moon as seen from our window. Not the best pic, I admit.

Thanks, Cynthia.

 

 Thanks, Jan.

 It's your turn, Blogger Bud. What's going on in your neck of the woods? Did you see the Harvest Moon? Getting your Pumpkin Spice fix?

 

 

 

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?

 

 

Ketch-Up Day

 

How are you? 

We have gone (Thank you, David) from 100 degrees to temps in the 60s.  Can't recall that one in August before. 

The butterflies have arrived and are visiting here. They do love the Butterfly Bushes. So does the occasional hummer and hummer moth.

 

 

 

 

This little fellow indow, kept me entertained while I was in the dental chair:)

 

AND

Has anyone had the cranberry nut bread from Publix? Oh my goodness. It's so very good.

AND *Alert*

Just a heads up, so you don't stumble into the same thing I did. I visited Melody Jacobs site and when I hit continue, the bells and whistles began to shriek with warnings, letting me know I was in malware territory.

In case you need it, I found this article helpful.

What to do if you accidentally visit a malicious website 

 

That's it for now. 

Had any of that bread? Is your temperature fluctuating like crazy? Got butterflies? Stumbled onto one of those nasty sites?

It's Ketch-Up Day

 

Did you have a good weekend? Week going well so far?

We are perking along. The HH is going to have back surgery in December. And speaking of, he surprised me with these. Pretty cute, hey?

 

AND

I saw this in the grocery store and thought of former blogger, Ro. She loved/loves cheeseburgers. Aren't they a hoot?

AND 

I found these empty nests in the yard. Had no idea they were there till after the fact.

This one I found on the ground.

 This one was hiding in the butterfly bush and is quite hard to see.

AND

We still have butterflies, which bring me quiet joy.

AND

A few last summer flowers.

Thanks, Jacob.

 AND last but not least a correction. Remember this pic? I said it was from Virginia. It was actually from California.  I was confused.😕

Have a great one, friends.

 

Ketch-Up Tuesday

 Greetings Blogger Buds,

How was your weekend and Monday? Hope both were good.

This is the last of the pictures from the Museum of Natural History.

And for those interested in the Hope Diamond....

We've had an extremely dry summer then a couple of weeks ago it started, raining...and raining...and raining. And after all that rain it's dry as a bone again. The rain seemed to bring out the butterflies.

I don't know what the orange one is. Do you?

Can you see the water level in the pot?

 

This was from a twenty-four hour period minus about half an inch from the day before.

This is the one I didn't recognize.

What about you blogger buds, got rain? Butterflies? Been to any museums lately?

AND

The indomitable teller of tales, memoir writer and honorary cousin, J. Q. Rose is helping me get the word out today on Geller's Find.  Thanks, Janet.
