Happy Golden Birthday!

You can learn a lot of things from the flowers
For especially in the month of June
There's a wealth of happiness and romance
All in the golden afternoon

Here's to your day little funny one! 
I love you and your smiling, sunshine golden face!

I saw my first lightning bug of the summer last night.  I have been documenting these first sightings for awhile now.  I don't know what I expect to do with this knowledge, but I save the calendars with my nature observations anyway.  While searching through Google images for lightning bugs, I came across this blog.

And this drawing...

The blogger, one Margaret Huber,  draws on her train ticket from London to Brighton everyday.  I really like this art concept.

Found a yellow wild pansy in my yard.  Pulled it up by the roots before my husband mowed over it.  Put it in water.   Keeps blooming!  

I think I'm getting pretty good at identifying plants.  My first guess was right--which was based on the flower scene from Disney's "Alice in Wonderland."
