How wonderful is this?  My garden has been certified as a Plant for Pollinators Garden by the Cincinnati Zoo.

Sarah helped me register my plants and find the milkweed plant, which with the Baptisia is a host plant for several species of butterflies.

And thanks to Kristen for sharing some seedlings and seed pods from her lovely garden.

Of course my garden looks so much nicer than it did when Sarah arrived.  Along with weeding, she moved around a few plants.  Last night there were a couple of wrens flitting about and eating echinacea seeds.

And now to settle in for the quiet days, after company.  I haven't tried any sewing yet, that will happen, but probably not today.
