More pretty flowers in our community. If you closely you can see some raindrops

Went for a quick walk this afternoon as rain was in the forecast and I could hear thunder. Almost home snd spotted these beautiful flowers just as the rain started. Took a quick photo and made a mad dash home

Decided to go to Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge. This is our third time there and this time we actually saw more wildlife than usual.
We also made a stop at the Montezuma Winery – one of our favorite wineries in the finger lakes
Surprised to finally see some butterflies and three of them at once – jackpot

When we left Maryland it was raining and damp, then we hit construction on the New York State Thruway so it took ten long hours to get to Stowe. When we got to Stowe, the sun was shining and it was 70 degrees. My kind of weather. I checked the weather in Stevensville and discovered that it was warmer in Vermont. So it was a great night to sit outside and have dinner. After dinner we checked the gardens at the Stone Hill Inn and it is just as beautiful as we remembered.
