Good morning. Out in the yard and noticed my tried and true reblooming clematis, “The President” was putting on a show. I probably have 20 different clematis growing on trellises covering my fences. Love the stages of bud, flower, whorl and then feathery swirls. Hummers love these for their nests.

Good morning to all those gardeners who have success attracting Monarchs to your garden, I applaud you.

Well took a break from the world shit show to celebrate my grandsons 19th birthday with a whale watching trip in Santa Cruz, CA. We saw Humpback whales putting on a show for us with tail throwing, pec slapping, and breaching. I needed a 360 degree camera to capture all the action.Nature is awesome!

Both my younger brother and I had strawberry blonde hair and wear glasses (parents and siblings did not). Back in the day, 1957, milk was delivered to your home. Our milkman had strawberry blonde hair and wore glasses. This meme reminded me of the teasing we inflicted on our mother. So funny!
