🛬🛫Imagine my surprise when I read the flights, they had to land in Newark around 4 pm! What could go wrong in Newark?! Then, they had to catch another plane home at 8 9 pm. I live vicariously through others' travels.
The kids arrived home from Portugal, via Frankfurt. I like to watch their progress! Imagine my surprise, watching them all day, when they veered like this.
🐀Back to our little groundhog nursery.
Fred moved her kits just before I left for Ottawa. I sat on the deck and watched them. Sadly, we seem to have blackflies around the deck. I can't do a deck spray, since we've tree frogs and a hummingbird feeder up. I have a sunburn, as well as blackfly bites on my arms. I wasn't out much in May, as it was cold. I put on sunscreen, but not enough.
As we sat there, Fred brought her kit out. The other miniFred seemed to be back at the shed.
They were quite worried. Fred and Cinnamon had an agreement. He got a bit close to her kits though, and she hustled them under the deck.
Joe's thought is that Fred was making them feel better, feeding right there in front of us. I was fascinated.
🦌Saturday, we heard some squealing, and I wondered if coyote was back. I saw a deer heading across the yard. Fred was not pleased. I believe it was just the deer who was going to eat Fred's Hostas!
Phoebe should fledge Next week. Bless their little souls, bopping around debugging the yard!

The weather gets nice enough to sit out and enjoy it, but then the insects descend.
Often when I see my hostas by my porch I think how deer would love them. I'm just glad the landscape crew doesn't take them out. Fred and kit looked so cute today, but I'm sorry to hear about fly bites - suffering for your art!
My friend has a tree frog on her house plants in the livingroom. She has no idea how it got in there. We were chatting on the phone a couple of days ago and it was singing away. Great entertainment/company for an 87 year old housebound senior. She thinks it's time to set it free though.

I'm gonna miss those little hoggies when they go!!! YAM xx
It must be lovely to watch the groundhogs from your garden. We don't have them here.
Nice looking tree trimmers!
I would spend far too much of my day on your veranda just looking and looking.
You have such a lovely place and I have to say...that is a cute little tree frog. Seems so peaceful around there...
Things get more exciting evert day at your place. The Freds are leading a very frantic life.
The dragonflies are out here, so the worst will soon be over. Me, I have a bug shirt with a hood and mesh face screen. If I get bitten, the bites fester. Luckily mosquitoes do not.
It is great to hear Phoebe is almost ready to fledge and that your planters were well-tended. The gray tree frog napping on the deck is a lovely sight, and seeing those bucks pass through on June 1st was surely a treat. www.melodyjacob.com
Hello,
Your plant look pretty, what kind of flower is it?
Cute frog photos and mini Fred videos.
Take care, enjoy your day and have a great week!
It is a fushsia, Eileen!
Wonderful to see all of this and the video of Fred feeding her kits, adorable! I also live vicariously through others travels. My sister-in-law and her husband are in Iceland right now and we are watching their route to different parts every day. And through their photos. They are talking about going to Portugal next year. Beautiful country!
