Milkweed Haven …

Milkweed

I headed back to the Cape after a short nap this morning. I had worked from home over the weekend. It is just easier, I can sleep and take care of the house and all that without anyone having to think they need to be quiet. I can also avoid 7K questions about being tired.

Today’s photo is of the milkweed that my Dad has in his gardens. Their house is now an official weigh station for monarch butterflies. Milkweed is a plan that they thrive on and also they lay eggs on milkweed so each year we get tons of monarch butterflies on the milkweed plants. It is actually a fairly nice looking plant and having it in the yard really helps attract pollinators. I may have to ask for some to plant in my yard for my garden.

At the Sly Fox cast party Felix brought a case of Zero Mountain Dew : Summer Freeze. The flavor is Cherry Lemon Raspberry which is blue and as Chase says, “It tastes like blue.” To me it tastes like a bomb pop popsicle. I couldn’t find it anywhere but found it today at Stop & Shop, they only had 2 cases so I grabbed both, one for home and one for The Cape.
