I went outside to take the trash out and the butterfly was still doing it's flyover, hit up the sunflowers, flyover, routine lmao

#marquilla #im suprised it's staying around so long #like damn i guess those sunflowers have what you want huh #backyarden #i kept chasing it with my finger earlier like 'perch??? perch?? please perch? please 🥺?' and it never did hdhdgdgd #ive had butterflies land on me before and it really feels like nothing it's weird theyre just so light and so so delicate #we actually have a dead one that we keep in a clear box sgdgdgdg mom found it at the cemetery and it was so lethargic from the cold it didnt #really care if she picked it up. and she took it home and we tried to get it to drink some sugar water but it didnt really eat #i like to think we gave it a nice place to rest before it died instead of worrying ab getting eaten and freezing to death we gave it warmth #and tried to give it food. we put marigolds in the box with it bc thats all that was still growing outside. it would climb on your finger #and just hold on 🥺 fluttering it's wings a little sometimes but mostly just sitting. it was really weird im ngl #then it died and we kept it sgdgdggdgdg we were like i mean i dont wanna throw it away... lets get a clear box for it #and it's on dads little shrine now hdhdhdhd

😭😭😭😭 there was a monarch butterfly fluttering about when I was out watering and it kept coming back. It LOVES the Mexican Sunflowers (Timothias) we have. Like it would have some, fly away, dive bomb back, have some, and repeat sgdggddggd Coming back to the same flowers sometimes like baby just drink it all at once! I mean I know they're prey insects and they don't stay in one place for too long to not get eaten, but come on have your little sips! Chug that nectar babyy!

I tried to get pictures on my phone but I can't see when I'm outside taking pictures on my phone sometimes bc the sun. So I'll check em out later sgdgdggd I should get my actual camera and take good pictures but I'm sore today

Anyway! It was very pretty and was a true monarch butterfly (white spots on the body) 🥰🥰🥰

#hashtag BLESSED agdgdgdggd #marquilla #it was so pretty fluttering about. it would make like a pattern flying over the roof and then dive bomb back to the flowers shdhdhd #then a different pattern over the backyarden and dive back. then a third which was go above the street/sidewalk and swoop back #gotta keep em guessing #i also saw a blue jay and i think a 4 leaf clover or two but i forgot where i saw them and couldnt find them to pick when i was ready to go #inside sgdggdgd so oh well #also harvested a LOT of sunflower seeds from one of the flowers. im gonna dry em out and save them for next year #guess im growing timothias again next year. was planning on not but i guess the fuzzy bastards can stay whdhdhhd #backyarden

Put the 6ft stakes in the cucumber plants. It's time 😎

Pruned the fucking massive already, tomato plants and a bit of the cucumber plants. Planted some marigolds and morning glories. And sweated my ass off. It's gone. All of it. It liquified sgdggdgdgdgd

But really the garden is looking so nice already it's making me so so happy

#I am SOGGY 😩😩😩 it's too fucking hot out #i didn't water everything bc i watered last night and it all felt still a little wet so they're gonna all suffer todsy sgdggdgd #hardship will do them well agdgdggd bc it's too hot to water and i might as well just stand over the flowerbed and sweat on them to water e #also theres this really big juicy looking blueberry ripening and im gonna fist fight the birds for it aydgdggdgd #backyarden #i also put the painted rocks out ❤🐞 every cucumber and tomato planter got at least 1 ladybug bc i like to paint those #i should paint more rocks but god the heat is getting to me physically (fatigue) so sitting at the table is a struggle bc it's rigid #i need one of those gamer chairs but for my kitchen agdgddgd how trashy but it would feel so nice i bet #marquilla #edited to add in the tags: the 6ft stakes are so the plants climb vertically and they will gleefully grab that shit and grow past it

I just saw a pair of male cardinals together 😭❤️ the first time I was like oh maybe they're just chilling together. But I'm in the backyard watching birds and they came back and they always leave TOGETHER and sit TOGETHER.

And then I saw a male/female pair shortly after! AND A BLUEJAY ❤️

#and a black swallowtail! butterfly #marquilla #backyarden

And when I went out for the second time today I saw a yellow swallowtail butterfly and it was zig zagging and dancing about the whole backyard. It was kinda magical but also hilarious bc it kept coming back 😅 like oh hello!

And I saw TWO monarchs on my way home!

And saw a little cabbage moth eating my cabbage, but that's okay bc I like seeing them and treat them like butterflies (which just means I say "hi butterfly" to em too sgdgdgdgdg I know they're different)

It really made my day bc I love love love butterflies and I see them as a sign of hope. I see them as a sign that everything will be okay. 🦋

#marquilla #i prayed awhile ago for a sign that things will be okay bc i was STRUGGLING and i said okay send me a butterfly. ill know 100% what it means #(bc they dont really come by often so it would be special) and everytime i see one i feel calmer #i know it sounds crazy/stupid to some people but this is just my personal belief system so shh #anyway the swallowtail was like LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME HI HELLO LOOK!!! like buddy i have flowers why dont you check those out? or just sit #for a second and rest sgdgdgdg but nope just dancing about!#backyarden

Oh of the seedling that got knocked down in the storm, it was only like one 4 pack of sunflowers. I have more seeds for those so I might just plop em in a pot that's on the patio and make em "dwarf" sunflowers.

Really happy that the rest didn't get knocked over 😮‍💨 whew

#marquilla #backyarden

Planted all the seeds (well that we planned to plant, there's still miscellaneous packs of semi filled seed packets) aaaaand ofc as soon as we get in it starts storming ahdhdhdhdhd

Like SUPER windy (rip everything we just planted. I tried to keep you on the table with bricks and rocks... idk if the ones on the bench seats will survive :(

Stupid us I guess bc I knew it was forecasted to rain today... just assumed the storm would pass us like the last several had 😔

Oh well whatever survives survives I guess

#marquilla #i just hope the stuff in the planters will be okay bc we have a tiny tomato flower and a tiny pepper growing already 🥺#backyarden #ngl kinda bummed bc if we had just waited... :(#but noo i wanted to do it today #maybe we'll get lucky? 😬#we had fun though and i did throw a bunch of marigold seeds down on the flower beds so if nothing else...#thank god we took the fabric chairs in though bc i was gonna say if we left em it would rain and id we didnt it wouldnt. guess i was wrong #the people watching robin was watching us shdhehe she even had a worm a couple times like thats her popcorn

Mom and I gardened today. Everything is all planted, but the seeds. Those we'll do another day. When we plant seed it's more of a "let's see what happens" rather than that being our main supply if that makes sense. That's why we plant em in June rather than starting em indoors like normal people do sgdvdvdv we wait til it's warm enough outside and then leave em. Usually turns out well.

Anyway it was a nice distraction. I got a HUGE blister on my hand that already popped/peeled 😖 fucking hurts.

Our soil is VERY hard and a lot of it is clay actually. What's funny is we divide the side garden where we each get one side of the garden split by the walkway. Mom's side, the soil was really soft and easy to dig in. Meanwhile my side, the longer side, is like 90% clay 😭

The flowers look really nice though, gonna spread marigold seeds over em later. So they'll probably be overtaken by 3ft marigolds like last year whegdgdg which is still hilarious to me like why were they so tall?

2/3 of the cucumbers are chilling on the chairs in their pots for now bc they're where the tomatoes were last year. One is on the ground in a slightly smaller pot so we'll see ab that if it makes a difference. When they get really big as they usually do, I'll move em probably sggdgdgd

Tomato plant is on a chair too.

Pepper is on the ground for now, but I might put it on the end table tomorrow to keep crawly bugs away (at least make it harder to get to).

Parsley is planted and out on the table bc it wants part shade 🤙

Having waves of being okay and waves of being super depressed. Unfortunately normal pattern for grief.

Thank you all for the support btw ❤💙❤💙 much love
