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.

...I LOVE those frog images!!!
Love the flicker! And those moths are all incredibly beautiful. The pool looks refreshing. And, I guess that's the price for having deer visit...like you said...oh, well.
Lovely Canadian Summer! A hummingbird moth

A lovely roundup for the weekend!!! YAM xx
Those moths are incredible! Love seeing all of your frogs!
The baby Flicker, that is just great, testing the open air, maybe having a trial flutter inside, you have had a wonderful week, during the virus times, grandparents are lifesavers. The two of you, that is a very special photo.XXX
Beautiful
Glad it was a good week!
Hello. Lovely post. Thanks for sharing.
Our run off stream is dusty dry, no frogs this year. Yahoo, a cataract surgery referral, a step in the rifgt direction.
Oh, all those frogs. That was a treat.
I 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.
You've certainly had quite a week!
Such lovely photographs of you and the grandchildren.
All the best Jan
