The Flowers of the Day are the Daisy and Chicory. The Daisy has been here for quite awhile, but the Chicory has just recently shown up. And although not wildflowers, nevertheless, Sandra's Lilies and Fireweed are also worth showing.

We have recently had several visitors of interest -- an exciting and colorful Pileated Woodpecker, an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail Male Butterfly (male? don't ask), a Bee that feasted on a Pansy while we were having our afternoon break on the deck, and a Frog (or toad?) on the beach. Our pair of Hummingbirds are still working at our flowers and feeder, but they are almost impossible for us to photograph.

Life is good when you are fortunate and able to not only see but enjoy what is happening around you. We give thanks that we are so blessed.
