Son has called me twice already since they left this morning for the airport going to Boracay. It’ll be his second time to take a short break there. He called me up again less than an hour ago, they are now at their hotel in Station One. We just had heavy rains here due to thunderstorms but Boracay is sunny, the weather there is perfect for all the activities they plan to do. Five days of bliss and exploration.
I think I need to trim our carabao grass again. It is growing by leaps and bounds because of the rain. I just feel lazy because I am trying to finish a historical novel set during WWI and two years after WWII. I always visit the garden though since our small vacant pond is always inundated with rain water. We’ve lost the Koi fish years ago when it got flooded and it overflowed.
I chanced upon this insect atop my pink-striped lily that I could not identify. Do you know what it is?
I haven’t harvested calamansi since my daughter’s family came over for a visit two weeks ago. Some are ready for picking. I don’t store them in the ref, I just pick some when I need to marinate something or use them as juice instead of drinking soda. That’s the good thing about having some fruits and veggies in the garden aside from the ornamental plants that I have. I noticed some Jutes growing side by side with our chilli peppers. Perfect.
May you have the nicest week ever.
Thanks for your kind wishes!
I thought it may be a butterfly but it looks different? Don’t know!
Like your photos too,
Wishing you all the best,
Nahla

I agree it is a moth, though I have no idea which kind.
Looks like a great place for a holiday break, I hope your son has a wonderful time.
Best wishes, Pete.

Thank you Pete. Not so familiar with moths. I only know of the yellow kind. They love Boracay 🙂

I don’t know much about them, but they tend to look fluffier than butterflies, and have thicker bodies. I am sure someone will step in, and tell you what it is.

What a lovely place for a vacation! But your garden and a good book sound pretty wonderful, too, Arlene!😊

Thanks Kitty. The weather here now is more conducive to reading than gardening. It rains every day, mornings are sunny though.

A moth I can’t identify is what I’d go for

Boracay is one of the top destinations in our country but it is quite far from our place. You need to take a plane ride, bus and motor boat to reach the island.
