We had a great week with the girls. Lots of good food: pears, small pies for dessert (blueberry and rhubarb), leftover meatloaf, dumplings with coleslaw and spiralized carrots.
Toweling off, we shared a moment.
Nutmeg was quite friendly.
Puzzle time
There are 7 frogs in the goldfish pond. With the dryness, they began to move in. We've since had rain.
We managed a swim on Thursday. It's not as big as their pool at home, but the three of us fit in.
Isabelle has fun with her sunblock shirt.
Next, the water snake and garter snakes will be back.
The doe managed to 'trim' my two transplanted hostas. Ah well.
What I love about this time of year are the hummingbird hawk moths and the sphinx moths, who frequent the monarda and other flowers.

ReplyDeleteHello. Lovely post. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOur run off stream is dusty dry, no frogs this year. Yahoo, a cataract surgery referral, a step in the rifgt direction.
ReplyDeleteOh, all those frogs. That was a treat.
ReplyDeleteI like frogs. I've not seen any for a while but I used to see them in the garden even though we haven't got a pond.
ReplyDeleteYou've certainly had quite a week!
