Jazz-a-ma-tazz, A Broken Butterfly, and Baby Boys

For some strange and unknown reason my dog has decided to stick around home this week. She has been eating here, sleeping here, and hanging out in the yard and on the back porch during the day. Maybe she knows this is home after all.

I had a butterfly visitor to my goose-neck loo-strife this morning. It was battered and bruised, but happy just the same. (Kind of like Jasmine.) Later I spotted a monarch butterfly flitting about, but I didn't have my camera within close proximity.

My little grandsons came to play for the day. I don't know how their mommy keeps up with them. Lucas did not go to sleep at nap time ( I waited at least an hour and a half) and Simon thinks that sleeping on my lap is the way to go. Needless to say, I did not accomplish much in the way of housework. I did, however, have some good snuggle time with Simon and played a nice game of "Beanie Baby Toss" with Lucas who loves to throw things.

  1. Martha, I was wondering if you've seen any Monarch caterpillars yet? I have not. I know what you mean about not getting anything else done when the babies are there, but they are so much fun to have around:-)Funny that Jazz is hanging around more...our "wanderer" is doing the same...maybe it's the heat?

  2. I have never had too much luck finding the caterpillars, but I'm just starting to see the butterflies. (I haven't been out much.) I'll let you know if we spot any.

  4. Just a lovely day....I didn't realize you had a big dog.

    Precious little nap on grandma's lap...love it.

    I had two little hummingbirds and didn't have my camera. Guess I should keep it in my apron pocket.
