this morning we drove to Miss Millie’s Flower Farm and had a lovely time in the fields…

my adventure buddy gathered flowers, and I gathered photographs with my Nikon… great fun for both of us…

of the 125 photos I took, I was very pleased with about 75…

the weather was perfect, overcast and cool, and there were few bugs… we had been there in August of 2022 and the mosquitoes had been voracious at that time…

the fields were not as far along due to the weather but it is a beautiful place to spend time in… so happy I remembered that taking pictures was more fun for me than gathering flowers;-)… and nice to get the camera out for a change;-)…

I also brought home some fresh eggs and a new tea mug (Sugar & Spice Pottery);-)…

recently, I wrote about all the caterpillars and the butterflies that emerged and my hope that, as the milkweed has new leaves, another monarch mother might stop by and leave a few eggs…

well, on Thursday, this happened;-)…

I was very excited and after she left, and a bit of searching, made the discovery of at least four eggs…

babies, here we come;-)…

the bunnies have been out for a while…

the first one turned up on March 21st, with mini eggs alongside it…

since then every couple of days another bunny has joined the group…

in between, the mini eggs have come and gone, lol…

they are so cute…

and have certainly added a touch of fun to the space…

the final bunny turned up on Saturday to complete the colony;-)…

this morning the Happy Easter sign turned up with a few items for the other boys…

and I caught a photo of the Easter Bunny resting up in the garden after their busy night;-)…

bunnies everywhere…

this morning I spent time with the flowers from March 5th…

last week I took out the carnations and today I divided the remaining mums into three containers…

one went into a glass vessel and made its way onto one of the kitchen counters…

the second container held two and went into the bathroom…

the final batch went into a purple mug on the living room table…

I also added a bunny, a glass egg, a candle, and chocolate mini eggs… Easter is coming after all;-)…

such fun to create something new from a single bouquet…

for the last few days, in the afternoon, I’ve enjoyed watching a monarch butterfly dip and flit through the garden, landing on the various milkweed plants to enjoy some nectar and maybe lay some eggs…
