Haven’t put the toys away from Charlie’s visit last weekend. The afternoon light cast them in big shadows.
Didn’t vacuum yet, either.

I’d just walked out of Whole Foods and this huge hairy spider with big green eyes got my attention. There were flats of vegetable plants for sale. My neighbor stopped by my front porch and she was able to identify the type of spider. I actually videoed inadvertently just as it jumped. Hanging by a thread. Says they don’t build webs. Phidippus audax
I noticed how the exact same leaf looks differently as the light and angle change.
We had a good visit. Charlie was going to get in the car with his mom and drive back home to Ohio. We’d taken a short walk before he had to get in his car seat for the 200 mile trip.
We were walking across the street to the playground and saw two woodpeckers pecking away on this rotting tree stump. One flew away. iPhone shots today.
You can watch the one pecking away in this video .

I have an old drop leaf desk in my front hall.
It’s the repository of my important papers. And old birthday cards, ticket stubs, cancelled checks, yellowed newspaper clippings and _
although I did NOT find what I needed, I found these old Garbage Pail Kids Trading Cards from the eighties.
“originally released in 1985 and designed to parody the Cabbage Patch Kids dolls, which were immensely popular at the time.” Wikipedia
excerpt from Wikipedia- for more indepth information click here
“The series was the brainchild of Topps consultant and Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Art Spiegelman, ……..Spiegelman and fellow cartoonist Mark Newgarden worked together as the editors and art directors of the project, Len Brown was the manager, and the first run of the cards was drawn exclusively by artist John Pound”
Ben H at WordPress says “This week, share a photo of something that says “heritage” to you. It can be from your own family or culture — a library, a work of public art, a place of worship, an object passed down to you from previous generations.”
Mary Alta Kerr Hendricks my paternal grandmother. Farmersville, Illinois. She taught me to knit when I was four years old.
She knit the Afghan and made the quilt. She. Luke tat snd crochet, too. I held the quilt to the window so the light could show how beautifully it is pieced snd stitched.

You have to check your clothing in the mirror between the double doors as you enter and exit the butterfly garden. Sometimes a butterfly will land on you! Such delicate and beautiful creatures.
A couple of days ago my friend Roberta was cleaning out her archives and she sent me the link to this May 28, 2014 post about Strawberry Rhubarb Preserves Evokes Memories- and they still do.
