My neighbor Paul, opened my drifted driveway this morning.
Thank you so much, Paul. You are a special neighbor.
Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

Visiting the Butterfly Garden
This Butterfly Garden is north of Appleton, Wisconsin. In season, it is open Wednesday through Saturday.
I went with three of my grandchildren (Eli, Arianna, and Wyatt) and my daughter Rachel. It was the first visit for all of us.
This video was taken in the enclosed area where visitors can get up close and personal with the butterflies. Everyone was given a cotton swab dipped in a sugar solution. The idea was to touch the butterfly’s legs so it could taste the sugar and then it would get on the swab to drink more. That worked once for Wyatt, but usually, the butterflies preferred sipping nectar from the flowers.
It was a lovely afternoon to spend with butterflies and my family.

A pileated Woodpecker comes to my birdfeeder
This feathered friend never came this close before this spring. Bob and I would see a few by our woods, but never near the house.
I was so happy to get this video today while Rebecca, Andy, and I were having lunch. We carefully videoed through the window, trying not to scare it away. It was so nice to capture it eating shelled peanuts today.

Sunrise before the fog
I was lucky to capture this sunrise. Soon fog obscured the sky.
I thought about staying in bed, but now I’m happy I was able to catch this sunrise. And no, I did not go back to bed. When I’m up, I’m up.
Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.
