A little This And That from last week --
One of my sisters by choice and I celebrated National Margarita Day
with a Margarita at one of our favorite local spots
along with some chips and dip.
Are you following the Great American Read at PBS?
There is a list of 100 favorite books there and THE MARTIAN
is one of them.
I hadn't read any Sci-Fi in awhile and since it was on the PBS list,
I decided to try it and I'm very glad I did.
There was just enough science to not overwhelm
and humor to break the tension.
Take your vitamins before reading -- it's a ride!
No, I haven't seen the movie.
The peaches are very good at the local grocery store.
I was surprised they've been this good for this long.
I normally buy peaches at the farmer's market.
This year, I've bought more at the grocery
and that meant more peach smoothies!
My beautiful Summer Mug designed by Susan Branch.
They are expensive, but so pretty and a great size.
The blue jay on the bird bath had just completed his bath.
The jay on the left was begging to be fed.
A parent's work is never done!
(Wonder where I put the tiny towels?)
A butterfly visit to Musashi's Garden and the lantana.
Wishing YOU well and much joy!

I missed Margarita Day. Love the blue jays and the butterflies. Happy Monday, enjoy your day and week ahead!
What a beautiful week Snap! A little of everything ... and I love every single thing you showed. I miss lantana up here in the PNW ... it is such a cool flower and the butterflies love it. Didn't know it was national Margarita Day, but we might have celebrated it anyway ;>)
I just saw the movie version not long ago
Yes to Margarita's, Snap! A favorite hot summer day drink here.
I read The Martian and saw the movie, and equally enjoyed both.
Beautiful birds and butterfly photos! I wish Susan's mugs were a little more affordable--I love her drawings as they are so pretty, but I have too many expenses right now to indulge myself...lol
Summer treasures.
Joy
It's so very hot here....so, so hot. that margarita looks so refreshing.
Snap, I love the butterfly. The antics of birds is always entertaining. Thanks for sharing and have a great week. Sylvia D.
Great capture of the blue jays. Adult birds must be exausted by this time of year. Lovely photo!
Wonderful butterfly captures. I haven't read The Martian nor seen the movie; now I'll add it to my reading list.
A great post with lots of my favs - books, a drink, birds and flowers.
Susan's mugs are my favorites (I have two and I treasure them!) I know whenever I see someone post one that they are a kindred spirit!
Margarita day -- how did I miss it??!!!
Love those birds! Tiny towels would be adorable
...delightful collection, I'll stick with diet Pepsi.
Beautiful pics!Hugs!
I love the Susan mug. Enjoyed reading with my coffee. Happy Saturday!
Love the butterfly photos! Haven't heard of that book. I will look into it.
I too love to read Science Fiction but I don't have enough time these days. Nevertheless, you have to tell us how the book is. Enjoy your weekend and stay cool. Those are gorgeous shots of the pretty butterflies.
What a wonderful week! I especially loved the Blue Jay and butterflies. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
hugs,

Man - how did I miss National Margarita Day? Tomorrow we might be going out for Mexican so I will make up for lost time! Love the blue jay series!
I love your photos. I haven’t read that book. My husband liked it. Thanks for linking to Keep in Touch.
