It was a lovely day yesterday. I got a lot done preparing for fall.
I had a chat with my son, Jesse, in Vancouver. They are suffering with the smoke from the California fires. They'd been outdoors, and had to go in.
Today, I shall make a stew. JB is out doing groceries, even as I write. I'm waiting for my bursitis to ease for the morning, and my knees to unfreeze.
Out and about in the garden...
I have only ONE pumpkin! Seriously. And the deer didn't even eat the blossoms this year. I have no excuse.
Katydids (Tettigoniidae) feed on plant parts, especially the flowers. They only live about a year, laying eggs in plants.
You can see a katydid feeding on it! I disturbed it and felt badly. It leapt off into the plants below. These are likely the last of my rose bushes.
I went back the next day, and it was there again. It dropped to the ground, again. Then, I realized they can fly! I wasn't disturbing it as much as I'd thought.
Cinnamon is still quite concerned with those pesky froggies!
This was some kind of cutworm or hornworm on a weed. It is so pretty.
A little, teeny weeny bee, I think.
