They bring a lot of joy to the garden. My zinnias are still going strong, but the butterflies are done for the year. The picture was taken a few weeks ago.

A picture of a butterfly sipping nectar on a zinnia flower that has light pink multilayered petals and a raised pink center with yellow star shapes around its top. There are lots of flowers in the background slightly out of focus. It's in a Michigan garden.

Walz: "They are paying contractors to pay down the East Wing but they're not putting money into the food bank. So if there's a sense of frustration in America, it's very real ... when the White House press secretary said their top priority is the ballroom, we could not disagree more."

A picture of a white dinner plate with the following food on it:  A piece of chicken that's stuffed with goat cheese, basil and minced onions, five pieces of bite sized oven roasted potatoes cut in half and sauteed brussel sprouts that are cut in half and are green with dark char marks.

What was on my plate last night:

I made basil, minced onion and goat cheese stuffed garlic chicken with seasoning, sauteed brussel sprouts with garlic, butter, salt and pepper and roasted bite sized gold potatoes seasoned with garlic, salt and pepper.🍽️🍜

A picture of a Rio Dipladenia plant in a Michigan fall garden. It has lots of red trumpet shaped flowers and glossy light green leaves.

Just adding a bit of red color to brighten your day.

The Rio Dipladenia is still cranking out the blooms. 🌱

Yes they do. I'm glad there are things in the garden that provide food for them when a lot of other food sources have gone.

A close up picture of hybrid Dahlia flowers. There's a flower in front that has round multiple layered petals that form a starburst pattern. The bottom layers are yellow with red tips, the middle layers are red with yellow tips and the top layers are red with yellow tips and it has a yellow center. There is another one partially showing to its right.

A very close up picture of a Coneflower (Echinacea) flower. It's a daisy-like flower that has peach florets that look like petals that droop downwards. The florets attach to a yellow spiky cone shaped center that contains its pollen producing structures.

They're doing zero work while their healthcare and salaries are being paid for by us taxpayers. The Republicans want to make healthcare worse or nonexistent for everyone except themselves.

These watches appear to be ripoffs of famous designs. Likely from some factory that normally produces "homage" watches and they just swapped out the branding.

He's so pathetic. I'm not the least bit surprised. Bootleg watches being peddled by a criminal squatting in the White House.

A close up picture of a pink flower on a 'Endless Summer' hydrangea shrub. It has a lot of small clover shaped flower clusters that form a round shape. They resemble butterflies in flight. It has green leaves that are turning burgundy on the tips. They're in a Michigan fall garden.
