the
end of a small branch that I pinched off an althea I saw at an estate
sale last spring which my sister rooted for me

butterfly ginger which needs no other explanation

this
little morning glory, about the size of a quarter, sprouted under the
totem bird feeder, a gift of the seed or a visiting bird
the
rainbow this morning
the
new growth in two places on my peach tree, the first new leaves since
I planted it last spring and it started to slowly decline
and
an estate sale find, found with an elaborate costume dress and cape
Oh, Ellen. In so many ways our lives look so very similar.
ReplyDeleteThus, we are lucky.
Love that you have Monarchs as my caterpillars are all other types. That hat is certainly interesting, and I have a feeling the rest of hte costume is just as exotic.
ReplyDeleteBeen tagging monarchs all week as part of a migration study with the U of KS.They are moving south fast.
ReplyDeleteIf it were green, you could be a peach tree.
ReplyDeleteNow that's a selfie!!
ReplyDeleteLove your photo. How fun is that? And of course I sit here so envious of the type of plants you can grow where you live. Although, my white peach tree blessed us with 4 crisps, 2 pies and 15 jars of peach butter this year. It's only been in the back yard for 4 years, still is small enough for us to reach the top branches and we share a bunch with the birds. Blooming things, uh, not so much.
ReplyDeleteNot everyone could pull off that costume with as much panache as you.
ReplyDeleteOh that rainbow! And that headdress - ha!
ReplyDeleteThe headgear is cool, but the flowers are moreso -- not to mention those new leaves on the peach tree. There's probably a lesson there, like "too soon uprooted, too soon unfruited." I don't think that's bad for 6:15 in the morning!
ReplyDeleteIt's all about the little things.
ReplyDeleteThat monarch caterpillar is wild! I love the estate sale hat. Fabulous. :)
