Went for an early morning walk before it gets too warm. Met a neighbor at the boat launching site. She was kind enough to tell me this was a mimosa tree. I thought mimosa was a drink – who knew it was also a tree. I wonder if a mimosa drink is the same color as this. Will have to google that.

First day of summer but it’s been overcast and in the low 70’s. We weren’t sure if it was going to rain or not so stayed close to home. Walked to the marina – lots of bees and this one lonely butterfly. Could not decide which photo we liked the best. Thanks to everyone who told me yesterday’s flower was a hydrangea.

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

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.
