Common Buckeye (Junonia coenia)
I had a hell of a time identifying this little guy. The butterfly guide I use says that they’re found in my general area, but not specifically in my county.

Spa Day for Miss Brown
It was mani-pedi day for Miss Brown, so afterward she got a treat of peanut butter.
Rain
We finally got some rain. About 12 drops of it.
Salsa
This is what you do with too many tomatoes.
(It must be a foodblogging day.)
Double Yolk
This is the second egg from this carton that had a double yolk.
Cicada Shell on a Headstone
A cicada left its shell on a headstone. This is from last weekend’s trip to Mount Gilead Cemetery. The heat index this afternoon is 111F–too freaking hot to go outside and take pictures.
Roma Tomatoes
If the weather doesn’t cool off soon, my brain is going to melt. At the very least, some rain would be nice for my poor little garden.
Ironweed
Ironweed is one of my favorite wildflowers.
Amaranth
You can eat amaranth. I don’t. The birds love the dried seeds in the fall, though, so I plant it and leave it for them. It’s pretty, too, so it’s not like it’s a hardship to watch it grow.
And Happy Farm Eggs
From happy free-range chickens with happy little beaks.
