The garden is in full swing!
And again I say...where did all these CONEFLOWERS come from?!? I only planted a few, but apparently, they spread. No complaints, though!
Coneflowers are great for pollinators. Sure, you have the usual butterflies, but also bees, of course.
Caterpillars, like this Eupithecia moth one, love them too.
I picked a big armful of them yesterday and have made some beautiful bouquets!
In the heat of summer, lots of interesting things around. Caterpillars...
pipeville swallowtail
sycamore tussock moth
...and moths, of course.
harnessed tiger moth
banded tussock moth
Other interesting fliers...our tiger bee flies are back!!
I've also found some great eggshells this week.
cowbird
Now, a few weeks ago I mentioned that there was definitely a fawn or two around. Finally, the trail cams confirmed. BABIES!!
Now that he's getting older, I'm starting to see him in the yard, too.
