decorated stones and butterfly eggs

The other day I was happily sitting outside enjoying the nice weather,

aka a break from the horrid, hot and humid weather we had for a week.

(the only good thing about it was that it made the ocean seem like paradise to swim in, or at least more so than usual!)

Thought I would try out the new white paint marker I got,

so now my walkway is scattered with some decorated stones!

I kind of like it, maybe I will do more...

On a separate note, I was pulling the poppies from my garden to dry and save the seed pods and I found this leaf with eggs on it.

I am hoping they are butterfly eggs and that maybe I can hatch them and raise some lovely butterflies to release back into the world!

Anyone know anything about this, or what type of eggs they might be?

my self seeded ornamental poppies

I have let the poppies go.

Underneath all of that foliage and flower there are vegetables fighting to have space.

Luckily the poppies are passing and soon I can harvest the seeds, dry pods and pull the rest out giving the garden back to the vegetables again!

But they sure are beautiful.

Do you have a garden?

What are you growing?
