Blueberry Pie

Does a heaping large plate of spinach salad compensate
for also having two large pieces of homemade blueberry pie??
I think so.

Lost Baby Turtle

This baby painted turtle lost its way! Tracey was out hitting golf balls and spotted it.



We carried it over to the pond, as soon as it got into the water,
it was gone in a flash!

Garlic and Roses

                                                     Yes, the garlic scapes are ready!





Rosy petals...



Innisfil Red Tail


This was strange as it was perched on top of a birdhouse!

Weekend Country Bliss

 Tracey took this shot of a whitetail doe just beyond our backyard on Saturday morning. He said:"I love living in the country." She is looking straight at him!



Sora family update....
there appears to be one egg left to hatch as of today.




Mama coming back to the nest





One chick approaches the nest, there are about 5 of them darting about.





Snuggle time!




More flag iris...







The Notty has her summer face on.



Mayapple (or Mandrake as it's also known).



There are large swaths of Mayapple everywhere.



Humble Red Clover and Birdsfoot Trefoil



Ox eye daisies nodding to the Buttercups



I saw dozens of these tiny darting bright blue dragonflies.




Sunny Butter n' Eggs- love the name of these cheerful flowers.
