Firefly season!

We continue to shudder at what is going on to the south of us 🇺🇸 . No, our 🇨🇦 PM Carney didn't 'cave,' as Leavitt so proudly announced. (Isn't she a perky liar?!)  PMC is choosing his battles to win the war. Many are criticising this move online, but most of us aren't economists, don't have access to negotiations or secret files, and we don't know what we don't know. We've had 55 Canadians disappear. Republicans haven't read the bill they plan on voting for. ur politicians do that, as well. A huge Omnibus Bill, and includes details buried in the fine print.

I don't know what kind of dystopia they live in, but 'Alligator Alcatraz (Wiki)' exists. Some Republicans are proud of this. You can buy merchandise online 😡. Better to call it 'Alligator Auschwitz', or Crocodile Concentration Camp.' I've read both. Apparently, according to Anna on TikToc, the floors are flooding. We know what it's like to live in a swamp! 

🥀 I was quite surprised to find the primrose doing so well. They've grown and spread in my mishmash of a garden. Oenothera fruticosa, the narrowleaf evening primrose or narrow-leaved sundrops.

The catalpa tree is in bloom!

It died a number of years ago. It's been growing back from the base of the trunk. We shall see what happens.

Leopard frogs abound in the grass. Eat those bugs! I have to watch for them when I do the lawn.

Sunrise, 5:45 and it was lovely.

It is firefly season! You can spot them on the video, although the moth takes the spotlight. It triggers the spotlight, too!

 

 I tried filming the fireflies, this was the best I could do off the back deck in the darkening evening. June 30, 9:20 pm! 

 

This'll either be fascinating, or gross you out! Mostly, they are moths.

   

 This was just before the doe gave birth! I think she popped the fawn out further back in the safety of the trees. They eat the placenta, which lessens their risk from predators.

 

Here is a fawn from another year. They have no smell, which helps protect them from predators. They keep their spots until the fall.
