Saturday Photo: Milkweed, as Beautiful as Butterflies

 We all know that milkweed plants are what Monarch butterflies need to breed, aand I've been pleased to see that several folks around here have been planting them.  They're not particularly attractive for much of the season, but come fall when the seed pods burst, they are truly fantastically lovely.  Took this photo a few weeks ago, after which I harvested some seeds in hopes that I can get some plants going in a sunny corner of our yard.

Saturday Photo: Busy Healing Etc.

This photo was taken about two weeks ago, but I hadn't posted it because I couldn't get near my computer for long enough to play around. Nov. 4 I had hip replacement surgery which seems to have gone wonderfully well, and for quite a few days I was not doing much.
