We’ve had some colorful visitors stop by the house lately…
The monarch butterflies are loving my Echinacea.
And this little guy has made appearances on our beach twice this week…
It’s a mink, we think, a member of the weasel family. Some of you may have read
‘s entries about the weaselly creature that showed up at her house a few weeks ago and looked a lot like a wolverine. I think this may be a smaller, cuter, distant cousin. He spent the afternoon frolicking up and down the shore, climbing into drainage pipes, and then playing peek-a-boo before jumping out again. We’re trying to think of a name for him (or her). Any suggestions?
He is much MUCH cuter.
Ahh, yes the echinacea…cone flowers. I had some nice ones in my yard when I lived in NH…one of my favorite flowers…and a beautiful picture, Kate. Are you going to go into the business someday and make postcards of all your great pictures? I have a cousin in VT who does that.
…and less menacing, too. I’m glad your wolverine hasn’t made any more appearances!
Thanks, Judy! No postcard business for me — I just take photos to share for fun, and the last thing I need is one more hobby!
Love the photo of the butterfly on the Echinacea. I wonder if you can make tea from those flowers that would keep you healthy all winter?
Names .. hmm .. Minx, Boo, Bob ..
