HANDYWOMAN IN THE GARDEN

 So I figured out how to fix my side gate. 

Screwed the hinge again. Anchored it with a long nail and iron rod so it would sit in place.

Lots of pruning branches. Pulled several weeds and growth from my path by the gate.

After an hour I had enough.

Since I have until October to clean up my gardens I will not kill myself.

The more work I do in my garden the more I realize it is time for a smaller property.

Veggie and flowers on the porch work. Easy and attractive.

Maybe it is time to enjoy other people's gardens. The it is no work for me.

BUTTERFLIES IN A CANADIAN GARDEN

A wild garden attracts many different natural beings. Butterflies are one. I captured this one.
There was another one mostly black that I did not get a photo.

I love this photo. However, who know what kind of butterfly is getting nectar from one of my purple flowers.

My Monarch ones that visit. I have the Milk Weed plant for them.

Of course there have been little white butterflies fleeting around in the front and the back. I am still trying to get their picture. The life of a photographer is not easy. Nature does not always cooperative.
