And M-44’s are being used again and cruelly slaughtering wildlife and the word “harm” removed from the ESA, eliminating protection of habitats for vulnerable species. These people aren’t happy unless they’re killing and they like to kill everything that gets in their way. Demons.

Just another day in well grounded paradise!
Native sticky monkey flower. 
Plucked a few slips along the side of the 101S at a road work stop near Last Chance Grade. 
I have a substantial patch now. 🙂So many plums this year, i can’t give them away fast enough. Pacific Ninebark near the fence. Recently harvested garlic bulbs.

I was admiring the colors of hydrangea near my japanese maples and saw this cool moth, which resembles a dried leaf or piece of bark.

I read the following epitaph on a headstone in an old graveyard in Windham, New Hampshire decades ago. Apparently, it was quite a popular epitaph centuries ago. Macabre? “ as you pass by remember me as you are now so once was I as I am now so you will be prepared for death and follow me.”

A tiny caterpillar next to my green tea will probably get eaten by one of the many birds that are perpetually hungry.

On my way to the gym today, had to stop for these three darlings. The #deer had just left a property after pruning (lol) someone’s immature fruit trees and the owner showed up. Got to love #wildlife, always trying to help. 🙂

Some of the #fuchsia here at home!
Micro fuchsia perfect for bumblebees. Small but mighty! Easy to grow, reliable all year unless we get a frost. Hummingbirds and bees favorite. Very pendulous clustered fuchsia. One of my favorites, single pink on vigorous shrubs.

I like to sit here by the window in the morning so I can watch the birds. I get up to have a 2nd cup of coffee and Miss Kitty takes my seat. For the past few mornings, I’ve been putting this little stuffed bunny on the seat open she won’t bother. This is what I came back to. Funny #cat. #cats
Miss Kitty, taking my seat being careful not to disturb the little bunny.Miss Kitty will not be deterred.Mission complete!!

Old fashioned lilac blooming beautifully as well as white iris and native mimulas. (Sticky monkey flower)
First lilac to bloom, old fashioned or common lilac. Heavenly. Took a couple of slips from the east side of the 101 a couple of years ago. And yes, they are sticky!
