It’s always a treat to see a Monarch butterfly! Climate change, pesticides and habitat loss have impacted this beautiful creature and their numbers have decreased significantly over the last 20 years. We can help by planting milkweed and other nectar producing plants and avoiding pesticides! I hope to visit the native plant nursery and add more flowers for the butterflies to our garden!

There is definitely something about Sydney – one of my favorite dock dogs to watch! Go Team Sydney! This dog has the sweetest expression! 🙂

It’s been a banner year for our honeysuckle vine. Maybe the never-ending rain in Spring was a good thing after all! Last year I wasn’t sure if the vine would survive after moving it onto a new arbor, but I’m very happy with this years bloom. Honeysuckle is one of my all-time favorite scents! I could stand in the garden and smell the sweet fragrance forever! This Spring I added this little birdhouse in the hopes of having some feathered friends to watch. I’m really turning into a “Bird Nerd”! 🙂

Every now and then I spot something while driving and have to immediately pull over to take a photo. This was one of those “Whoa Stop!” moments. It was somewhere in New Jersey, along the side of a busy highway. I’m lucky to have grabbed the shot before being swept off the side of the road by the traffic that was whizzing past me!
