Hi there! I’m so excited to find another garden blogger from Maryland. There don’t seem to be too many of us. Your property sounds so nice. Take a short hike and you get to a sandy beach–how cool!

Layanee - I looked for a photo of Tucker but couldn't find one. I need to look further, but looking at the photos on your blog made me feel so inadequate I had to take a break.

Ruthie - It think you're right about that Cloudless Sulpher. I'm headed near a bookstore today and will finally invest in a proper guide. I don't believe all the photos on the Internet are properly identified.

(Imagine!)

Hi Robin,
I visited some friends this afternoon who are more butterfly expert than I am. I was describing your cloudless sulphur and Joyce pulled out her Butterflies through Binoculars (the East) field guide. The picture of the cloudless sulphur in that book was almost identical to the picture you have posted here–right down to the pose & color! It appears to me that when you see the underside of the wings, it’s a little more of a greenish-yellow color but when the wings are open and you’re seeing the top part, it’s more yellowish. Hope this helps.

Rachel - Humm. The pictures are there and others see them. I also sized them so they aren't too large to load.

Try closing your browser and opening it again. Or try a different browser--Firefox instead of Explorer, for example. Or maybe just wait until later?

Not sure...

I can’t see your pictures–either on your website or on bloglines. Any suggestions?

I am LOL at your little ones chasing deer! Tucker is five times the size and he just looks at them and considers…he knows he can’t catch them so he just doesn’t try too hard! He does know ’squirrel’ and he does know by the sound of my shriek that there is a snake on the loose. He will try to catch them but I don’t think they smell very strongly as he has trouble finding them. Love the butterfly pictures and the trumpet vine is a great shot. I find I don’t have a trumpet vine. How could that be? Must remedy that situation.

Ruthie - We have about 5 cleared acres and the rest are woods. About one acre is house, garden and yard. Four acres or so is a hay field. We live down a long, winding driveway that we all use for a running, walking track.

I have always wanted to put a walking path in through the woods. So much to do!

If you hack your way through the woods for about a 5 minute walk, you do reach a series of paths that take you down to the Chespeake Bay in about 5 minutes to a pristine, beautiful beach.
