The Viscountess’ breakfast is going to be delayed an hour so she doesn’t throw up in the car on the way to get her nails trimmed.
Please pray for us all during this difficult time.

➡️Fun Fact➡️ I don't always think about hummingbirds migrating but of course they're not around here in the winter. Apparently, some of them travel as much as 4000 miles. Crazy to think about these little wings doing all that work.

Ok, ladies, here’s the truth: if you, like me, have unfortunately dense breasts, a #mammogram can be pretty uncomfortable. But #breastcancer would be about 1000 times worse.
So this is both a reminder to get a mammogram and permission to have an over the top sugar cookie afterward.

Snickerdoodle Snugglebug insists she has no interest in knocking my grandmother’s crystal off this shelf.
She’s insulted that we anchored these pieces in a cat-proof manner.
When asked how she knew they were anchored if she hadn’t tried try to knock them down, she terminated the interview.

➡️Fun Fact➡️ I always thoughts these Skippers were moths but they're actually chunky #butterflies. Apparently, the fact that this Fiery Skipper's antennae end with a little club is one of the things that makes it distinct from moths. Who else knew that?

Please do not be alarmed. This #cat is NOT planning to fling herself from the top of the cabinet and pounce on the leftover chicken cooling on the counter. 100% not considering it, never even crossed her mind.

Do these two understand the concept of daylight savings?
No, definitely not.
But did they at least wait patiently for their breakfast this morning? Letting the human side of the family get an extra glorious hour of sleep?
Also, no.

Think we'll start the month with a lucky #ladybug. I originally thought this was a dill plant but someone let me know that it's fennel.

In light of #NationalCatDay Viscountess Lady Snickerdoodle Snugglebug wants to point out that while we’ve told her not to get on the counter no one mentioned getting in a bag that happened to be on the counter.
The fact that there were groceries in the bag is, to her, completely irrelevant. #cats

This #TwoForTuesday post feels perfect for #SpookySeason I call it Hidden Danger because if you look closely you can see a huge garden spider blurred in the background and bits of her web above the two monarchs.

The theme of this week's #BlueSkyArtShow is #inside and on this dreary day, I'm sharing a shot from this summer. This bee was really focused on working its way inside the flower and it made me chuckle -reminds me of Winnie-The-Pook getting stuck in his door.

I call this one Hanging By A Thread. I don't know if it was lucky timing or if he was doing some sort of pull-ups to increase his upper body #bee strength 😆but I love how it's holding on with one little foot.

I call this one of my "It's not pretty but..." photos. Because it's not pretty but there's something about this little robber fly that I find appealing.

As far as native pollinator magnets go this Ironweed is nothing to sneeze at.

This is the shot I've been waiting for! After watching #monarchs eclose the last few weeks, I finally caught one as it dropped out of the chrysalis. It only takes a few more minutes for the blood and other fluids to pump from its body to its wings - #nature is amazing!
