  1. I remembered I have visited a butterfly farm once. I love the puppy and duck. Both of them makes me laugh and they are really enjoy playing together. I think the flashing light did the trick to get the wild turkey out of the house. Interesting video about the ants but I wouldn't want them in my garden or else my plants will all go leafless! Lol!

  6. Good morning dear Linda, Lovely set. Butterfly gardens can be so peaceful and beautiful. I had to laugh at those policemen trying to help get the turkey out of that lady's house. What a predicament. I hope you have a wonderful day.

  17. Hello Linda!:) Wonderful nature video clips. The ant video is really interesting, and the turkey inside the house reminded me of the creatures which make their way into my home, and refuse to leave, but we have never had a live turkey! I loved seeing the Costa Rican butterflies, and the playful dog and duck, and as always enjoyed the quotes. Nature is my medicine!:) Thank you for such an enjoyable visit.x

    The saying "It's not how big the house is. It's how happy the home is." ... so true.
    Home is where the heart is.

  32. Loved your "buggy" posts today. I always wondered why those ants cut leaves and carried the pieces away. And who doesn't love butterflies?

  33. Oh my goodness - that dog and that duck!

  34. Linda, Love the butterfly garden. Monteverde is quite famous. We have visited 2 butterfly gardens, (South Florida and St. Louis MO), and found them quite delightful! The dog and duck playing together is very cute and fun to watch... As for the wild turkey, we have a flock of over 30 of them in our neighborhood and the idea of one getting in the house is a bit mind numbing! We had a wren fly in one morning before we headed out on a trip and it took us almost an hour to get that little bird out an open sliding door... Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

    Have a nice day, Linda!

  37. Hi, Linda! I especially enjoyed the Costa Rica butterfly video. It brought back wonderful memories of when Terry and I visited the Monteverde Cloud Forest in 1991 and of the times I took my elementary students to visit Denver's butterfly museum. I always had to hold Rosie the tarantula on my open palm first to show my young kiddos that it was safe to hold her. The quote that spoke to me most today is, "Failure is not falling down but refusing to get up." That is profoundly true. Have a lovely day today, my Montreal friend. Sending you love and hugs!
