Verbena - "Taylor Town Red"
Blue Lithodora - "Grace Ward"
Dianthus - "Neon Star"
Saturday evening I was washing dishes at the kitchen window and spied two of these flower boxes on our deck railing! How did they EVER guess that's what I was hoping to have someday?!
The next morning I was further spoiled by these dear homemade cards, a wooden flower box made by Jake, and a coupon for two backscratches or massages from Kylie. I can't wait to get flowers in all of my boxes! (Amazingly, the above poinsettia, which was a Christmas gift, is STILL alive! I can see what a little regular watering can do as my black thumb begins to turn green.)
This morning Mom captured the Prince Charming that might be eyeing up her pond fish for dinner.
Today was our first Tiger Swallowtail sighting. Interesting tidbit...this is South Carolina's State Butterfly.
Last year, Jake was able to get this butterfly to stay posed on his face! Here are two of the many photo shoots these cooperative subjects allowed me.
Love those big baby browns!
What do you get when you combine a desire for a no-fuss sewing project, an old Family Fun magazine article, and an hour or so? Flopsy, the Sew-sweet Bunny, who's even more of a keeper for me since she was made from Kylie's cute but outgrown church sweater.
