Simmertime

On our first kayaking trip of the season, we traveled to
Grafton Pond to hang out with the loons.
You can hang out more with me at my website www.SonjaHakala.com
One of these days, I have to look up the proper name for this
wonderful water plant. I love the shape of this leaf, and
am thinking about using it for an applique quilt.
My husband Jay with his little kayaking companion,
our little girl Goldie.
No matter how many times we walk along the river,
we seem to find new plants. This is
a swamp milkweed just before its flowers
burst open.

July-Oh My!

These beautiful trumpets of pinkish white are bindweed. There are always more pictures at
my website: www.SonjaHakala.com
The Blackeyed Susans are in bloom early this year.
Deadly nightshade has blossoms like the tomato plant.
And we have more milkweed than we ever have had.
More monarch butterflies!
