After the festivities last week, it was a pretty quiet week
around here. Nice!

Here are some more pictures of the reception. That cake was
SO GOOD ya’ll. Daddy & Sue brought me a big chunk of it later in the week.
Would you believe that I ate some of it & then put the rest in the freezer
for later?

The morning glory that my dad
gave us is totally taking over the petunia baskets. And we’re pretty much ok
with that.

As it was in Ohio, our North
Carolina back yard is mostly a Mom & Pop operation.
Thursday night, tragedy struck!
I had to use some random floss that my dentist gave me. Very sad.

Eastern Tiger Swallowtail!

We were
sitting out on the deck (SUCH a lovely day!) and had a visit from Mr. Roy.
The moon!
The weeks seem to be speeding up as we approach my surgery
date. I’m very excited, but I’m also remembering how annoying it was after my
last surgery. Not to wish time away or anything, but I’m going to wish some
time away: I would like for it to be December.
What are you looking forward to this August?
Wow! The wedding reception feast look like quite a...well...feast! Yum!
ReplyDeleteIt was fantastic! Even had little pulled pork sandwiches...
DeleteThe photo of that swallowtail in the purple flower (I know nothing of plants) is stunning.
ReplyDeletePetunia.. butterflies and hummingbirds love their nectar. Thanks!
DeleteLove the pineapple palm tree, and that greedy swallowtail. I'm trying to ignore the photo of the cake, lest it tempt me toward indulgence.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that the same kind of skink that Bella had on her porch? It certainly looks like it. Very pretty, really. Electric blue does catch the eye.
This is a five-lined skink (five lines running from head to talk). The bright tail fades as the skink matures. This one is very young.
DeletePlease don't wish away autumn. In my universe, anyway! Lovely colours in your photos!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI am not looking forward to anything in August. it will be too hot to go outside. I love morning glories! and the pineapple palm tree is so clever but what a waste of pineapple.
ReplyDeleteMorning drives are delightful this time of year up here, as so many corn fields have morning glories along their edges. Not much different from Ohio in summer, really... cornfield, soybean field, rinse, repeat.
Deletehaha. we're very picky about floss too so I get it.
ReplyDeleteI love lizards & their pretty colored tails. Such neat little creatures
Saw the picture of the cake and instantly became hungry.
ReplyDeleteLove the penguins against the sunset.
ReplyDeleteAlways loved morning glories.
It's hard to beat a morning glory. I love them. (We should plant some here -- thanks for the idea!)
ReplyDeleteThat skink is beautiful. What a brilliant blue tail!
Beautiful pictures, especially the swallowtail in the petunia!
ReplyDeleteNow I want cake.
I will be happy for you when your surgery is over and you are skipping around... just in time for Christmas shopping. Ha!
ReplyDeleteThe butterfly is beautiful. I love morning glories, but my husband, a country boy, thinks they're weeds. Very pretty doggone weeds, I say.
The butterflies that are visiting you are really quite remarkable! You are very gracious about wanting to see your dad happy. Of course you want him happy, but its still hard because its not your mom. You guys seem so settled in already, its hard to believe you moved states so recently.
