Backyard Fun

This summer has been so busy for us (and I'm sure for all of you)! It's hard to find time to sit down and blog anymore. Even with extended daylight hours, I find myself wanting to anything other than blogging!

We've had A LOT of rain this summer... Which kind of stinks for M's golf game, but has almost completely relieved me of my responsibilities of watering the garden. So everything is in bloom (and my lantana has taken over a good chunk of it's bed - I should go cut it back).






But, the pet's love to hang out back there, and Anni has really honed her hunting skills this summer. She has long since left little lizards alone, and had recently brought a small sparrow in through the doggie door. Thank you, Anni.











Woogie is mischievous, as always. Here is a picture of him eating my butterfly plants. Punk.











And speaking of, butterflies, not punks. This year was definitely one of my more successful years. I raised and released at least 6 Monarchs this year. I actually had more than I knew what to do with and ended up giving one away!
