This should do it.  Let’s hope so.  The County came back and dug up the street to see if they could find the cause for the sinkhole.  Everything was dry so they are not sure what happened.  They filled it backup and patched the road.  The foreman told me that sinkholes are popping up everywhere in the county – they think it’s because of all the rain we have had.  In fact, they were taking the steel plate that had been in the road and using it for another sinkhole

Spotted these on my evening walk.  Not sure what they are called.  Thought it was interesting that the flowers on the outside had bloomed but the ones on the inside have not.  Will have to keep an eye on them to see what they look like when they are in full bloom

Another really warm day and lots of humidity.  I walked this morning but it was still really warm.  Earlier this week I posted a picture of this flower – didn’t know what it was but another photographer as kind enough to tell me it was milkweed.  When I spotted the milkweed earlier this week there were a lot of bees around them.  Today in addition to the bees there were butterflies.  It was hard to get a good photo since the butterflies kept fluttering around but I managed to get this one.

Chocolate peanut butter whoppie pies.  I love to bake. My son asked me if I would make some chocolate peanut butter whoopee pies for his boss’s birthday. I said I would give it a try. His boss even sent me a recipe to use. Well got home from work and started working on them. The recipe said I would end up with 8 pies. Well I made a big mess in the kitchen and had just finished cleaning up when my son called and asked if I had any luck. I said yes I had just finished but it only made 8 – did you realize that – aren’t there more than 8 people in your section. Oh Mom – sorry I should have mentioned that – would it be a big deal to make another batch – if it is we can just cut them in half. Wasn’t sure how cutting them in half would work so I made another batch and another mess. This is the final result. He emailed me today and said everyone enjoyed them. Thank goodness – but it will a long time before them again. By the time I finished the second batch it was time to start dinner – so needless to say I didn’t have any time for another photo

There are a lot of these by the path to the boat launching site.  The bees were having a grand time tonight.  If you look closely you can see one at the bottom of the flower.  It’s hard to get close.  Stay tuned – may be more this week with hopefully some more bees

Summer is here – it was in the 90’s today and its going to stay that way for rest of the week.  Went for a walk after dinner – There is a big row of these lilies by the marina.  I have been trying to get a good shot.  This is the best one so far – stay tuned there may be more later this week
