So happy! The pineapple plant that I rescued from my mom’s house after she passed away, which I later planted, is now growing its very first fruit!

I found the nest Birdle uses while not in my porch corner! I did see Birdle sitting in it, singing, but couldn’t get a photo without scaring it away, so I didn’t approach until it was empty.

This butterfly had just come out of its pupa after gorging on my parsley! I was so happy that I got one butterfly right on my asparagus fern!

Beautiful Butterfly!
