Monarch

In my attempt to find some happy things to write about today I went for a short walk around the backyard and out to the wildlife camera.  Unfortunately the batteries were dead and there are no pictures from that.  It is up and running now and I look forward to seeing what it sees in the next few days.  One of the routines that I've had a hard time keeping up with since getting a job is checking on that camera.  I'm happy that I got the trail cam working again.  Other happy things for today:

• For reasons unknown, work went fairly smoothly today.  I'm not sure if it had to do with the way the packages came through or if I am getting better at the job.  
• There are a few grapes this year.  We cut a bunch of it back last year and I think that is why there are less this year.

• I found a pretty flower that Lens identifies as being phlox.

• There were two Monarch butterflies out back!  This time I got pictures.

Thank you for being part of my happy things. Stay safe.
