Monarch

Our butterfly bushes are really doing their job this summer!  I love the bushes right up against our family room window.  The girls love to watch the butterflies from inside without any of the bother of the mosquitoes (which seem to get worse every year!)

Raccoon Babies

Spotted today in the back yard then later on the front porch.

We don't usually see them during the day, but they look pretty happy and healthy, so I'm not too worried.
