Today is hot and muggy. I fed the birds and watered plants.

Then I noticed that my butterfly weed is blooming -- the first time I've gotten it to do so -- and that inspired me to take a few pictures.

This is the septic garden fully grown in.


The lamb's ear is blooming too.


Here is the butterfly weed. It's actually a type of milkweed. Butterflies indeed like it very much.
