“Butterflies” Cedar Park, 2024

I came back from my lunchtime run and saw several butterflies enjoying the flowers in the front yard. It sure smelled good! I don’t blame them from spending the afternoon there.

The weather got warmer so I brought last year’s pepper plants outside, and also put the new peppers into pots. The new plants already have several peppers growing! I’d say another couple of weeks and we should be able to eat them. I’m not sure if the Scotch Bonnet plants from last year will bear fruit, but I couldn’t throw out perfectly healthy plants.

We were so lucky that the clouds parted just enough so we could enjoy the totality eclipse. Simply awesome. The difference between a partial eclipse and total is literally like night and day. What an experience… A highlight of my life!
