Butterfly report. 11 Monarchs have been released with more to come. I see at least 3 flying in the garden almost every day...The rest...off to please someone else. Yes...Home again after a wonderful two weeks again in the UP of Mich with Jared/family and friends we have made over the years coming from Detroit as well as other places. It was read/knit/sleep/walk/eat/talking and then do it all over again. Rain came on two occasions which we really enjoy. Enjoy rain while camping? Yes. The sound of the tent roof makes sleeping so easy. It's a blessing to have equipment that allows us to stay dry. The unbelievable sight when pulling into our driveway was really something to experience. There was rain here at the right time and the garden just could not be more colorful and stunning. That includes five different kinds of butterflies...gold finches...nuthatches...humming birds and an occasional hawk singing. Singing? sounds more like music with no notes. Ir's been snipping and raking and laying more Superior beach rocks around our little fish pond. The rock supply lake is staying strong.
One big project now is doing some changes to what was a shade garden to now being a sun garden since we lost part of a tree a month ago. That involves mostly moving Ostrich Ferns and dinging up a ton of ivy. Ugh! Ivy...don't like it a bit. But...little by little this week...most of the ivy is gone. It's just hard work pulling and clipping. I've advertise in our church newsletter...Free ferns. Come and get them. The plan right now is to do some filling with Black eyed Susan's. Some hostas will need to find another home as well. Maybe the garbage can would do. So...that's life in Carmel, Indiana right now. More butterflies to come.
