This and That

A lovely sunshiny day. I noticed a butterfly flitting from one flower to another but staying in the same area so I ran in to get my camera. I managed to get a couple of shots before it flew away. Do you see it just to the right of the middle Sweet William?

                     Here it is a bit higher up. It's hard to see it. Maybe it is a Western Tiger Tail??

                            Took this picture on our morning walk.

On our way home from our walk we stopped at a You Pick Raspberries sign. They were also getting ready to use this picker for the berries. I'm sure its faster but I prefer to pick my own.

 We picked a pail full in no time. Too bad we had only had one pail. We had not thought we'd end up picking so we weren't prepared. I ate so many berries right off the bushes. By the time we got home it was lunchtime but all we felt like having was a bowl of ice cream to top off the berries we'd eaten.

In the afternoon our family came over for our annual BBQ. Here I am with my second oldest daughter and her son the older of my two grandsons.

We had a great time of eating and talking and my youngest son finished off our time together by singing for us. He's a very good guitar player ( and singer).

That's my post for this second day of July. Summer is officially in full swing now. Kids are out of school and berries are ripening in the glorious sunshine. I hope you're enjoying every day!

Thanks for visiting,
