Majestic Monarch

 

So happy to see these guys showing up in the zinnia, lantana, milkweed garden.  More to come.

This is a good idea

Parsley. Sage. Rosemary and thyme. Basil. Chervil. Oregano, too.  Wichita Botanica.

Today’s harvest

Pie’s on, or maybe jelly. Not sure what Louie’s going to do with these, but whatever he does will be delicious.

Envy

Jill’s again.

Jill’s pool

Love this reflecting pool on my gardener friend’s 5 acres.

Bird nest series paused

My entire radish crop.  It got too hot, too soon.  We did get the seed in the raised bed a little late, too. Feeling like Aunt Sally.

Like finding gold

Found these praying mantis egg sacs while helping a friend in her yard. 

Garden retreat

This is just a piece of the beautiful garden at the airbnb we stayed at in Davis. We’ve now stayed at six different places there, and wish we’d found this one first. Quiet, spacious, light-filled, plant-filled, art-filled, aaahhhh.

We’ll make pigs of ourselves tonight

The great big stalk was hiding under a pile of straw. Most people prefer the little skinny ones, but contrary to popular belief, the fat ones are the tenderest.

Found art

My sister found these pieces of yard art on the curb.
