8:11 am: Enjoying My Front Porch

But I do have to get up early to do it because at 8:11 am it's already 89 degrees (F).  In creating this landscape around our home, my request was for plants that attract butterflies and birds.  I'm so grateful for that, as I can sit here and see several types of butterflies, black white, yellow, orange.  I don't know their names, but I certainly enjoy their beauty and grace.  

Bird song is everywhere, mourning doves cooing, quail calling to the family and hummers chirping at each other.  Just a moment ago, I saw a cardinal in the top of the tree across the way.

Now I see a  rabbit on the walking path.  We have a love hate relationship with them, as they eat plants. Having lost several to their voracious appetites, I think I've finally figured what to plant that they won't eat.

Hope you find beauty where you are today.

  3. Michelle, think of what you're saying...0800 and I'm 25 minutes from your house. Girl, it must be the heat-get out of the sun, NOW!

    Kimberley-That orange just makes the porch. It's that unexpected pop to play off all the cool colors.
