May you live happily ever after:
Saturday in Genesee Colorado my friends Kim Price and Chad Yantorno got married.  These two are truly the happiest couple I have ever known.  They are both wonderful people and a a perfect match.  Kim chose me to be one of her bridesmaids.  What!?!  It was an honor Kim.  Thank you.  Here are some of their pictures.  The wedding was perfect

Pure love and joy

When you start with perfection you don't have far to go

Butterfly migration- The Painted Ladies

on the zinnias

It is time for the Painted Ladies to migrate South.  As soon as the sun starts to shine these lovely creatures take over the yard busy flying from one blossom to another almost in a frenzy before the first snow.  In the Spring I planted a pollinating garden replacing about 200 square feet of sod.  I planted some perennials but also scattered poppy, marigold and zinnia seeds.  The first part of the summer the bees were busy doing their honey things but now it is the butterflies' turn.  At any one time there will be about 100 which is pure joy for me.  I think I have about another week before the first freeze when all of my flowers and tomatoes will be done but for now I am enjoying the little bit of sunshine Denver is getting and watching these fun ladies ( and gentlemen, I'm sure)
