| My cat loves to join me when I am working in the flowers. |
 |
| I am having a terrible time with voles eating the roots off my plants. There are holes everywhere. My cat is sitting by the hole waiting but so far she has not caught one. I set 4 traps under buckets but didn't catch any. Wish I knew how to get rid of them. |
 |
| Every night for about a week this wren came about dark and roosted in the corner of the awning on our porch. He would nestle into the corner and tuck his head down in front of him. So cute! |
 |
| I could watch the bluebirds from my deck as they were building their nest and when they were feeding their babies. I love this picture of the baby bluebird waiting for mama to feed her. This was the second set of babies in this house. I wonder if it was the same male and female there both times. |
 |
| I noticed this morning the bluebirds were very active in the nest and often stuck their heads out the opening. I was hoping to see them fledge but the next day they were gone. |
 |
| The male bluebird is busy helping with the feeding of the new family. |
 |
| WOW, the mother is feeding her young well. |

Milkweed Tussock Moth
One of my favorite magazines is "Birds and Blooms".
This month there was an article about milkweed and the insects
that are drawn to this plant. They discussed the Milkweed Tussock
Moth and the Milkweed Bug. I had never seen the Milkweed
Tussock Moth my Butterfly Weed so I decided to take a look.
There it was! You never know what you might see
when you look close.

| I really enjoy it when a rainbow shows itself when I am watering the flowers. I consider it my own personal rainbow. |
 |
The Hummingbird Moths were a constant in my yard as long
as the beebalm was blooming. I couldn't get enough
pictures of them.
