Thomas 2016
Harriet 2007
Sometimes Thomas reminds me so much of Harriet that I can hardly stand it.
Three Weeks
This is your obligatory three week adoptaversary post. I think I’ll keep him.
Today’s Butterfly
There’s another tattered male Eastern tiger swallowtail flitting around the zinnias today.
Happy 19th Amendment Day!
On this day in 1920 the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution was ratified.

Fog
When I was out walking the dog this morning, I watched the fog come down. It was pitch black still, so all the streetlights started to shimmer as halos appeared and spread around them, as the fog thickened. I don’t enjoy getting up at at ungodly hours, but there are perks.
The fog was still fairly thick at a little after 8am, when I took these photos.
Ice Cream Party
It’s been three whole days without a Thomas post.
He got to try peanut butter ice cream. He approves.
Also he is a supermodel.
Butterflies
Hobomok Skipper
Male Eastern Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly
Sulphur Butterfly
Polyphemus Moth
The butterfly photos were taken this evening, on my patio. The Polyphemus moth was lying outside the front entrance of the library, when I left work today.
Honeybees
The bees are still swarming the flowering flame-leaf sumac.
Moon
coffee with almond milk
Oh look, it’s raining
It’s nothing like what’s happening in Louisiana, thankfully, and it did clear up this afternoon.
The flowers are happy, at least!
It was pouring rain when I walked the dog this morning, though. Thomas got drenched, so when we got home, he got his first bath. He was really good in the tub, but he HATED it. That’s okay. I don’t know what I’d do with a dog
who liked baths.
He humored me afterward and let me take a photo of him in his towel burrito.
