My husband, John, always manages to get the most awesome pictures and videos of events occurring in our backyard. Around noon today a female visited our swamp milkweed. She didn't mind John being in the garden while she was busy laying eggs. There is no sound to the video because John was concerned that he may scare her away. We hope you enjoy the video as much as we enjoyed making it!

I sing because I’m happy, I sing because I’m free,
For His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.
Luke 12:6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
Thank you for your anniversary wishes.. It means a lot to me. We had such a wonderful day. My hubby is wonderful.. love you so much my friend, Shirley oxoxox
How are you feeling? You haven't updated me lately.
It is a beautiful, warm, low 80 F (28 C), morning in southwest Louisiana. It has been perfect for Geralyn and I to sit on our patio and enjoy the flowers, the butterflies, and the birds. We actually have a wood thrush nesting in our holly hedges but I am reluctant to take a picture of the nest. It also appears that our cardinals are in the process of building a nest nearby. A few minutes ago we had a visit from one of our hummingbirds and I was able to snap a quick picture and video. My front lawn needs cutting so I will start doing that chore soon before the temperature (and humidity) climb to a projected high of 90 F (32 C). After today rain is forecast locally for several days so today must be lawn day!! Have a great day! John
It is a beautiful day in southwest Louisiana so John and I had breakfast on the patio so that we could enjoy the view. While we were relaxing, a male monarch butterfly was enjoying sipping nectar from our flowers. We think, possibly, that it was the male we released a few days ago. It is the only monarch butterfly that we've seen in our yard so we thought he was in search of a female.
My hubby and I celebrated our 57 Anniversary Sunday, May 5th. That is my wonderful husband that I have loved since I was 14 years old. We have always loved each other. God is Good. This picture was taken at our grand daughter's wedding the 27th of April. Our grand daughters wedding was so beautiful and she was a Princess. We had a beautiful 75 degree day today. It was so wonderful. Our kitties just loved it on the deck. They play all over. They make me think of young deer jumping and playing. I pray you have a wonderful evening. Love and prayers, Shirley
This morning, Ger and I found our last butterfly had eclosed. We left the male butterfly in the mesh enclosure for about four hours before releasing him. He was very energetic and first flew to our holly hedges before flying off to rest high in my neighbor's tree. It was exciting to have three caterpillars emerge at the end of their metamorphosis into three healthy butterflies. We released one female and two males.
