Not-Quite-Country Girl

We've been home from the beach almost a month now, but I've finally gotten through all the photos I took during that glorious week of vacation on Emerald Isle, North Carolina.

I've been raising monarch caterpillars (photos below) again this summer, but this is a cat of a different breed.

...oh, what a beautiful day!

We've been wanting to do it all summer but something always seemed to get in the way.

My wildflower patch went crazy while we were on vacation.

So much talent, smarts, and diversity of skills in this photo!

While we were basking on the beach, our orchard was being invaded by a vast army.

We are back home in Indiana after a fantastic week with our family on Emerald Isle.

As you read this, I'm revitalizing and rejuvenating with some salt air and ocean breezes.

'Twas a mighty fine 4th of July!
