What a beautiful week Snap! A little of everything ... and I love every single thing you showed. I miss lantana up here in the PNW ... it is such a cool flower and the butterflies love it. Didn't know it was national Margarita Day, but we might have celebrated it anyway ;>)
Yes to Margarita's, Snap! A favorite hot summer day drink here.
I read The Martian and saw the movie, and equally enjoyed both.
Beautiful birds and butterfly photos! I wish Susan's mugs were a little more affordable--I love her drawings as they are so pretty, but I have too many expenses right now to indulge myself...lol
I too love to read Science Fiction but I don't have enough time these days. Nevertheless, you have to tell us how the book is. Enjoy your weekend and stay cool. Those are gorgeous shots of the pretty butterflies.
I love your photos. I haven’t read that book. My husband liked it. Thanks for linking to Keep in Touch.

A little This And That from last week --
[Image]
One of my sisters by choice and I celebrated National Margarita DayÂ
with a Margarita at one of our favorite local spotsÂ
 along with some chips and dip.

Are you following the Great American Read at PBS?
There is a list of 100 favorite books there and THE MARTIAN
is one of them.Â
I hadn't read any Sci-Fi in awhile and since it was on the PBS list,
I decided to try it and I'm very glad I did.
There was just enough science to not overwhelm
and humor to break the tension.
Take your vitamins before reading -- it's a ride!Â
No, I haven't seen the movie.
The peaches are very good at the local grocery store.
I was surprised they've been this good for this long.
I normally buy peaches at the farmer's market.
This year, I've bought more at the groceryÂ
and that meant more peach smoothies!
My beautiful Summer Mug designed by Susan Branch.
They are expensive, but so pretty and a great size.

The blue jay on the bird bath had just completed his bath.
The jay on the left was begging to be fed.
A parent's work is never done!
(Wonder where I put the tiny towels?)

Great capture of the blue jays. Adult birds must be exausted by this time of year. Lovely photo!

Susan's mugs are my favorites (I have two and I treasure them!) I know whenever I see someone post one that they are a kindred spirit!
Margarita day -- how did I miss it??!!!
