A hummingbird moth has been coming to our hanging basket outside the kitchen window. It's the first time I've seen one up close. He was very cooperative when I took these photos, you can even see his antennae curled up in the second picture.


He's soo cute!! Hopefully he keeps coming to visit! :)

Strawberry picking last weekend was a huge success--walked away with 12lb of ripe, organic, local berries at $1/lb ;-) Even though you can't tell in this picture, the local berries were super, deep red, and extra juicy. I may have a hard time going back to store-bought berries!



Gloria and I made some jam and canned about 5lbs each--made a dozen half pint containers. The color is just gorgeous--and I can't stop eating it.

Love you all! Glad everyone is home now and safe from all their travels.
