It was a pretty lazy weekend. It rained 1.33 inches on Saturday. Sunday my husband and I spent the morning cleaning pine pollen off of everything. Now that it has rained we are hopefully done with the yellow haze until next June.
I sprayed the outside of the cabin down with the hose and then wiped everything down with a towel. I may or may not have been distracted by the butterflies.Another Sutton Iris bloomed. This one is aptly named Red Hot Chili.My wild honeysuckle is starting to bloom. The scent is indescribable.The wild roses are also putting on a show. The bees, butterflies, and bugs enjoy them immensely.
It took all day to get these pictures. Butterflies are actually quite tricky and difficult to photograph. They don't stay anywhere very long.It is difficult to see, but I went a little overboard with the carrots. I went for a stroll this evening and came across this little pod of baby spiders. That is a lot of spiders.
My husband made me this potting bench the first year we were in the cabin. It is tough as nails and I use it for everything. It has been in the barn for the winter, but we pulled it out today.I took a few photos from different angles around the cabin. This is the walkway from the garage to the cabin
This is the new addition, a larger deck that connects to the porch. I can't believe it took us so long to add on. It has made a huge difference in our utilization of our outdoor space.That is all I have for the week. I hope you are enjoying the summer.
Those are wonderful butterfly pictures. I noticed the same type fluttering around recently. -Jenn
ReplyDeleteWe've been going back and forth between spring, early spring, summer then early spring again. We've had to have the heat on again. This week I think will finally be more summer like and stay that way.
