I wonder what type of #Moth/#Butterfly/#FlyingCreature this #Chrysalis will turn in to 🐛

The #Caterpillar must have been a wee one when the plants were brought in a few weeks ago to save them from the #Frosty nights we had! ❄️

Will update when something happens! 🦋

& since it's #Halloween month, time to adorn the windows with some #Crocheted #Skull #Spider #Webs!

More friendly than the store-bought webbing, & much safer too!!

I was gifted this beautiful #Fig #Tree 🌳
and hoping the #fruits that have started growing, keep growing! 🌞

& the aroma is so wonderful - almost a chocolate sweet scent!

Looking forward to tasting the sweet fig-goodness! 🍷😊

The #Caterpillar 🐛 I posted about a few days ago changed colour to match the leaf it was on, then checking in on it again & it's not there!

Guessing it moved elsewhere where it can fully #Chrysalis in better coverage 🤔

Love how #MotherNatures #Creations morph from one being into another 🦋

I have been enjoying building up the Children's Book section of my home library with books I missed out on as a child!

The child in me is loving the nostalgia 📖🌈🔮

These books have also been helping with ideas for more children stories I have in the works 😊

Due to the cold-snaps back in May & June earlier this year, both the Cherry 🍒 and Pear 🍐 trees were compromised 😕

The 1st & only harvest of Pears ... and maybe 5 cherries, already eaten by the ants 🐜

Praying to the Harvest Goddess for a better crop next season!! 🌞🐛

An #EasternTigerSwallowtail #Caterpillar going into #Chrysalis on one of my garden plants!

I love how the eyes are so vibrant & a deterrent from being eaten!

Will continue to watch this #creature as it transforms ✨️ and hopefully before the colder weather!

Why the change?!

Less plastic used to "stubbie" the neck & save a little shelf space?!

🤔 makes one wonder how much it was to change the molding and how this will affect prices on the consumers.

It's been 1 week since you left us!

Your bed sits empty, and your blankets have been folded up 😔

Missing you so much - your spunkiness, sassiness, playful energy... your paw prints have left everlasting memories on my heart!

No pain over that Rainbow Bridge, so play on, Miss Olive! 🐶 love you!

Movie Quote:

"No more rhymes, now I mean it!"
"Anybody want a peanut?" 🥜

Plant, that is 🪴

& we have 2 growing in the back gardens, thanks to the #squirrels burrying them - maybe from the #BlueJays too!

Trying a new #Tea #Flavour 😋 & it's #Purple 🔮

Picked up these awesome teas at The Tipped Ship when they posted about their new Tea #Hutch!

It is a marvelous tasting blend! Nature is #delicious! 🪻

& thankfully, for it being a #Fruit tea, #Cream can be added without #curdling!! 😊

Cheers 🫖🌞
