It’s Butterfly Week here on the blog. Yesterday, almost immediately after I had the thought, “I haven’t seen an eastern swallowtail yet,” one appeared. Very skittish, so it was hard to get a picture. Now I need to see a black swallowtail. Fingers crossed. They do love coneflowers, and let’s face it, there’s a lot to choose from here at the cottage.
These arrived in the mail yesterday:
Sometimes the girls are barefoot because I don’t have enough shoes! So I ordered more from Cora Huang, who lives in Connecticut. I already have two pairs of her Mary Janes in other colors and I love them. And how could I resist bows? Especially on a red shoe (as you know, I love red shoes.) Cora’s work is amazing. I also have a pair of red boots made by Cora.
And just because, I had to put this headband on Katie. It was a late-in-the-day impulse. The headband was made by Teresa, who lives in Spain.
My quiet Saturday morning has disappeared. Someone is cutting wood with a noisy saw.
Ah, well. The sounds of the weekend.
Stay safe.
Happy Saturday.
