Okay, I have a lot more pictures but I had to wait until I got home for fast internet. Then, I uploaded my cemetery pictures and I've been in genealogy discussions for days! But now it's time for bird, butterflies, and other random critters!

Cardinal with the hanging basket in the background. I saw one of the hummingbirds eat from the flowers and told Grandma.

I love this Goldfinch and Tufted Titmouse combination.

I took my Unicorn Caterpillars with me because I've never raised that species. And there's plenty of Black Cherry up there for them to eat. I made Dad go fetch it, though. Hilarious! Once they got bigger, they looked a lot more like the picture in my book.

There was one Cardinal that was so vivid red, my brother said it looked like someone painted it.

Cardinals are definitely the most numerous species at Grandma's house, although the Goldfinches are pretty populous, too. Heck, she'd have more hummingbirds if they learned to share. Hilarious!

Grandma had one sunflower seed that became a flower. It went to seed so my aunt laid it on the ground so the birds could have at it.
