POLLINATORS

                                                                                                            

Did you know it's National Pollinator Week? Let's celebrate with some pics of the pollinators at our place.

Didn't even notice the butterfly on the lamb's ear until I uploaded the pic.

As you can see, there's a whole lot of pollinating going on around here. To find out more about this vital part of our ecosystem and how to protect it, visit www.pollinator.org or www.fws.gov/pollinators/
Hope you had a great weekend and were able to celebrate Father's Day with a dad or two. Ours was action packed. The kids were home, there was lunching, biking, ferry riding, beer-tasting, campfiring, and laughing. So much laughing. Also, I am told by my offspring that I made the best hummus in the "history of hummus." I'll share that recipe later in the week. If you like.
Tootles!

GRATEFUL

Dear Mother Earth,
As I walk around my yard, I feel truly grateful for every living thing.

Lamb's Ear

I've had a cutting from this old rose at every house we've lived in...four states and thirty-four years.

Weigela

Knock-out Rose.

Mint

However, I might ask, if it's not too much trouble, when you get a minute, could you possibly pull back on the flies?
And ask the birds to stop pooping on my nice clean horse?

That's three already today.

Love,
Mary
