I usually finish off with our Fearsome Foursome Flyers, but they arrived home safely Friday night. Today I can welcome them home. They'd like to do laundry, but the stairs to their basement were being done on Saturday. Groceries are done, and they can sleep in their own beds.

They toured around Boston, after arriving from London, and Singapore before that. Quite the journey. You can get there from here, but it was epic.
Things are growing nicely here, in the rain and sunshine. Except for the one hosta! I'm glad I kept my fence up... The one in front, outside the fence, was trimmed. The one inside – protected.
The roma tomatoes are doing well, but slowing down.
The nights are getting cooler, and we are heading to the other end of summer. I have been behaving, and staying off my sore ankle. I did wander down to the trailcams Saturday. I wore my foot brace, shoes and socks. The only thing that hurts is going down a set of stairs.
I'll leave you with a beautiful caterpillar.

ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteThat was quite the trip, it is always nice to come home.
The last caterpillar is new to me, cool photo.
Take care, have a wonderful week!
I suppose you're very glad to have Caitlin and her family back home.
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear of safe return of the world travelers! So glad to hear you saved the beautiful (delicious) lilies from the wild beasties!
ReplyDeleteI have found that the hostas have been eaten a lot by slugs this summer.
ReplyDeleteThis is very beautiful Pat! And I appreciate it. The reminder that
ReplyDeleteYou can get there from here,
Beautiful lilies and prickly looking caterpillar.
ReplyDeleteWelcome home to the travellers. Love your garden and you are so right about the beauty of the caterpillar.
ReplyDeleteGoing downstairs is harder than going up.
ReplyDeleteA very long trip indeed.
ReplyDeleteI'll just bet they are weary but have so many memories to cherish. Ability to travel the world is a very special privilege.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adventure! Good to hear your ankle is getting better.
ReplyDeletethis is great time of year for caterpillars. This one is very colorful.
ReplyDeleteI love the sight of home from an airplane window.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a caterpillar like that. Striking!
ReplyDeleteHope your ankle recovers soon!
ReplyDeleteThat's an amazing caterpillar, do you know what type of moth or butterfly it will become?
