in my mother's garden all day. It was just as docile as the Monarch from yesterday-- in fact, it had been sitting on my arm before it fluttered over to her shoulder.
I rode around down by my mom's today, although I didn't ride from my house to hers. There's a lot of construction going on around her. Some of it more modest than others. How about this place:
It doesn't really say Lancaster County, does it? Countians aren't exactly known for being free with their money, so seeing houses like this is a bit confounding. But there are a bunch of them in this area. Three, four, five car garages. There's even a house in this development that's practically a block long! Ok, maybe not that big, but it has a five car garage and looks like a hotel.
Development has its place, but I like this part of Lancaster County:

Those are some crazy-huge houses! WOW! I like your view of Lancaster better, too! The butterfly is gorgeous!

What a pretty butterfly--and so friendly. We were at the Botanic Garden in Brooklyn this weekend and there were tons of butterlfies there, too. But none were so docile; they were flying from flower to flower. The bees were more sedate! I got a few blurry butterflies, but some nice bee photos. Say hi to mom and barb from me.
That house with the 5-car garage is obscene!

Hi, we still haven't left! I wanted to see if the anonymous button does work ;) The houses over there are ridiculous. Probably two people, four dogs, five plasma tvs, and seven cars will live there. xx sarah
Wow those are some big houses. I envy you your bike riding. I hadn't been on a bike in over 10 years when I got on one semi-recently and let me just say that the saying that you'll never forget is wrong! I felt like I was 7 years old all over again and never really got the stearing and swirving down (plus we live in the suburbs so not as many beautiful sights & straight paths to keep me going). So I guess I'll live vicariously through you.
Beautiful buttterfly - I've been trying all summer to get some pics as I've seen tons of them. But alas, they never stop long enough for me to get a good pic.
Those houses are amazing! I can't imagine having to clean something so large!! LOL
Your aunt writes: Thanks for including me on your blog -- which I truly enjoy! Love the photos and your identification of the flowers. I know it takes a lot of time and research on your part. From reading the comments, I know I'm not the only one who appreciates your good work. And keep up the biking -- you are an inspiration! Love you -- always.
