Caught in the Act

This bunny is so busted. Wally caught him eating his beans. Too bad, the bunnies can eat whatever they want. They usually just eat the weeds but I think these leaves just looked too tasty to pass up. These are the string beans that Wally built the special climbing tower for.

We have three bunnies and I think two of them are the same ones from last year. As long as we talk to them as we approach them and keep our distance they won't run. I'm so happy they're back.

More Butterflies

These guys were not very cooperative, plus it was windy. I did manage to get a few good pictures before they took off though.

(notice no snakes?)

Butterflies Drinking

We went over to the river today and spotted a bunch of butterflies drinking water. I did a little research and found out that they were "puddling".


Butterflies often congregate on wet sand and mud to partake in "puddling," drinking water and extracting minerals from damp puddles.


They were pretty fun to watch.

The latest addition to the garden

A string bean....thingie. At first I thought it was gonna be a hangman's gallows.

Beeswax June POTM

The June Project of the Month is up. I made a Father's Day card and inside are coupons for Dad. You can make them for whatever you like, such as a "car wash". All stamps used in the project are offered at a discount during the month of June and you can find everything here:

Corn Fields

Wally has gone crazy with the corn this year. He's planted over 200 plants. There are three separate beds of corn, the last one is way in the back of the picture by the black wheelbarrow. Every day he's out there planting something else.

Pretty Snake

I love the colors of these guys. This is a Sharp-tailed snake. This guy did NOT want to be photographed. I love the pretty light gray, dark gray and mauve/pink colors. I remember the first time we saw one of these. I had to go to the torch and make a set of beads in these colors. :)
