Garden Life

Sounds like a magazine... It might be a magazine but that's not what I had in mind.

I don't remember what these flowering plants are called but who cares right now. the important part is that these little butterflies love it! There were four of them and they seemed more interested in the plant than in the fact that I was right in the midst of them. I was able to stand there watching them for a good five minutes before they flew off.

This little guy startled me. At first I thought he was a wasp that had come back to unsettle my nerves but after a little while I realized he was no wasp. It's almost like he wanted to pose for me. I didn't even know my camera was that good.

Backyard Flowers

I'm trying to get more seeds for planting but the bugs are against me. I went out today and the caterpillars were eating away at the lettuce seed pods. They only seem to like one of the varieties though and fortunately one of the tasty varieties is very close to one that isn't and the caterpillars are leaving both of them alone.

The onions are in full bloom and shouldn't be too much longer until they seed.

2010 Strawberries

I leave for a couple weeks and *poof* red berries appear! Fortunately I like to eat the little red berries and just like that they're all gone.

I need to water them for the next few months and hopefully I'll get berries all spring. and possibly through to winter.

Gone for a Bit

The trip out to sea was great but I haven't had the time yet to go through the pictures that will soon grace the walls of this blog.
