This is the yucca glauca or Spanish Bayonet that is blooming now in the Rocky Mountains. It's also called soapweed.

Ooo, a spicebush swallowtail. We've got them in New England too but I've never seen one. So, it looks like this one likes sweet william! my book just mentions sassafras and spicebush as food plants. It's good to see you at least have enough water to keep your flowers alive, Jess.

At the end of fall last year the oil company that is drilling on the land beside us fouled our well. I wrote letters and threw a wall eyed fit and they drilled us a new one!! yippy skip...much deeper than ours was and it is GUSHING water...we are still being conservative but we are watering our lawn and flower beds. we don't have a sprinkler system set up in the pastures.
so we are sitting pretty good...at least all the critters will not go thirsty!

Took this photo yesterday, and thought I would share it with all my mates overseas.....
This bird is a KOOKABURRA....a native bird of australia........it is a protected species...makes a sound like someone laughing.....sometimes you here them communicating, and it sounds like there are 100 people outside laughing.....they are a very placid bird, and will eat out of your hand if they get used to you.....
