When we rely upon laws to enforce decent behavior, we end up spending our hard-earned money on attorneys. Rather than legal recourse, I’m on a mission to amp up my personal charm and collaborative kindness. Good manners are contagious.
Let’s get viral together.
Winnie Nielsen says: Stumped!
MaryJane says: Wild Rose Hips!
would that I had the time to make rose hip jelly like they always did when I was young. I adore it. The local Russian deli ( now alas, closed) had heavenly imported rose petal jam , another item on my wish list to make .
Winnie Nielsen says: You know,I think you posted rose hips awhile ago and I missed it then. I don’t even know if it grows down here or not.
Winnie Nielsen says: That butterfly or moth looks like it is dressed in vintage summer clothing like you find in the antique stores from the last 1800s!
Winnie Nielsen says: What a stunning color for this day lily!
Kay (Old Cowgirl) Montoya says: If I remember correctly this is a Stargazer Lily. How very beautiful. I used to have them in my yard. I miss the wonderful color and scent they give out. Thank you for the reminder.

I love these butterflies with their white spots under their black spotted tops. Very cool!
I have 3 very young and small butterfly bushes I planted this year, just covered in butterflies despite being so tiny and short. I have so many I have to keep my 3 butterfly ID books close at hand, altho most are the tiger swallowtail, very large and showy. I love the black mourning cloaks best.
