The flowers on the Boulevard, get more and more beautiful every time I walk Stacy Boulevard. The colors are amazing, and we need to thank Generous Gardners every day.

VIBRANT HUES OF LATE SUMMER
My son and I are laughing because as I was posting this, Charlotte was drawing at her little desk across the room, looked up at what I was doing and stated, “That’s a Painted Lady on a sunflower.” It’s amazing what little sponges are two year olds ❤

A Splash of Color for Winter Weary Eyes!
Cosmos bipinatus
In preparation for the upcoming season of programs that I give, which are centered around designing gardens to support pollinators, one of my jobs is to refresh and update the photos that are an integral part of the presentation. This past month I have been immersed in colorful images and tomorrow I am giving my new monarch butterfly presentation at (the other) Cape. Here are some of the outtakes from my pollinator habitat programs for our winter weary eyes.

Killer Bees
The Bean and Her Sleeping Pet Bee
The Mrs caught a bee on the porch and put it in a container for the Bean. Well wouldn’t you know that bee died fell asleep. He’s been taking a long nap and The Bean has been carrying him around everywhere talking to him. I guess the folks at the Post Office think she’s a little strange, lol.
