I have been chasing butterflies to get photos. :)
The orange and yellow butterflies love these orange flowers. Not sure what they are.
Black swallowtails on the pale yellow petunias.
There were two of these and I think I snapped them both in the same spot. Must have been some sweetness left in these flowers.
Ted got a picture of this pretty tree when he went golfing this week.
I made a small bouquet from some of our mums. Stuck a yellow marigold in too.
My daughter Liz got this big beautiful bouquet from her husband Matt for their anniversary.
I loved the colors of this sunset. Not much has gone on around here this past week. I had classmate brunch with the girls this week, Ted golfed two days, trips to the grocery and that's about all we did this week. One totally wonderful humidity free day.
Hope all of you are safe and doing well. XO
Everyone needs a slow week now and then. I love the butterfly pictures. Well, I love butterflies in general. Looks like fall is starting to come.
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy, Just one more week till fall is officially on the calendar. Where did it all go Kathy? All those spring and summer days we longed for? Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteNeat butterfly pictures, have you thought about framing them? When winter comes, they will remind you of your wonderful fall. I agree, everyone needs a slow week now and then....always being busy makes a person too busy to enjoy the little things, like butterflies.
ReplyDeleteOh sweet Louise, you are so right. I just told my husband today, that we will probably go from hot to winter. LOL...it's been a crazy couple of years as far as weather goes. Hope you are doing well and doing some porch sitting. Blessings to you and yours, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI think the first one is some kind of sulphur and the second one is some kind of fritillary. (Clouded sulphur and Great spangled fritillary? Not sure, but they are pretty!)
ReplyDeleteI love butterflies but only know the names of a few. LOL. It's fun to chase them. They stayed put till I got my camera. LOL. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteIt's all so beautiful, Susie. The colors of fall. I love the butterfly especially.
ReplyDeleteJeanie, I may be too old to catch the butterflies but I can still chase them for a photo. LOL. It back to the high 80 here, fearing we may just stay hot till the snows fly. :) Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteBeautiful flowers and butterflies! It's looking like Fall there. Happy Anniversary to your daughter and her thoughtful husband. Lovely bouquet!
ReplyDeleteNonnie, My daughter was absolutely thrilled to get flowers at work. :) The temps here are back to scorching summer. LOL. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteThe orange butterfly on the orange flower is amazing. You should frame that! Glad you had a peaceful week. I love the bouquets. I got a silk fall bouquet for my kitchen table. Have a blessed Sunday
ReplyDeleteKaren, With the heat we had this summer, I almost wish I had bought fake flowers. Then I would not have to water, or spray for bugs. LOL I have enjoyed the little butterflies on those orange flowers. Blessings to you, stay cool. I think we are going to be in the high 80's for many days. xoxo, Susie
Deletea gift a a beautiful sunset and all your pretty flowers...that's about perfect Susie!
ReplyDeleteBetsy, I hope people do not drive by and catch me chasing butterflies. Once the neighbor lady yell and asked what I was doing. LOL. Blessings for a sweet day, xoxo, Susie
DeleteThank you Adam. I wish I knew the name of that flower with the yellow butterflies...what's funny is, I bought them and planted them. DOH ! Blessings, xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeleteSounds like a perfect week to me! Such beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteLouis Dean and back on land and I have Internet again. Today we will be meeting up with my friend, Linda, here in Oregon and will be visiting vineyards, Christmas tree farms, apple orchards and visiting all along the way!
It is my dream to tour your part of the country someday! Wouldn’t we have fun??
Linda, I have thought of you and Ld on this great adventure. I know it was wonderful fun . The amazing sights. Glad you got o do it. One day Ted and I might have to light out on an trip around the country. We are going to meet one day for sure. I sure wish I could have had my grandson and his wife meet you while you were in Seattle. But they moved into their new town house this weekend. Blessings to all, tell Linda hello. Love you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteIt looks like you had nice week Susie. I just wrote an update this morning about Hurricane Florence on my blog. Have a great week!
ReplyDeletePilar, I have worried about just how close you might be to that hurricane. Glad you are safe. I am going to look at your blog now. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteWonderful post Susie, I have 7 Mum plants in my yard, but haven't picked any yet-might today though.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day and week.
Hugs, Noreen
Thank you Noreen. Glad your mums are growing too. We are back in the heat...wow it's been a very hot summer. Only a week till fall. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeletePretty flower pictures, Susie. I like the bouquet you made, and that vase is lovely. Oh, that butterfly is a cheerful yellow color. It's hard to get pictures of the butterfly cause they are always fluttering about. Your "slow week" sounds wonderful, Susie. Sometimes a slow week is nice, isn't it?

Thank you Susie for your comments on my blogs. I love your blogs as well. Butterfly's are pretty. We just have the Monarchs. Your daughter is it has those chickens? Nice. We used to have them. Only the rats came in too many times and the skunks grabbed the eggs. Are you close to that Hurricane. I pray your safe.
