I was going for an upclose shot of the beautiful luna moth, but the wind was blowing and I only had time to get off one pic before it flew up the middle of the other shrub. 
Rebel is feeling so sad and neglected. Eddy has rigged up a hog panel across the front of the steps on the front porch to keep him off while the Maggie has the puppies up there. She gets canned dogfood 4 times a day , and he's stuck with dry food in the dankness of the barn. She's drinking 4 dollar a gallon milk and water from a dish, and he's having to slog through the grasses of the dangerous pond bank. What was he thinking when this all began on a lark in the hay!
Mom ordered climbing roses and they were backordered forever. I had zero expectations that I could get them to bloom after being planted bareroot in July. This one was put next to where I hook up the soaker hose for the tiny garden and look at it go. When it first blooms, it is yellow and deepens to this hot pink.
I should have put something down next to this beetle so the size could be better determined by just looking at it. It is 4 inches long and was in my shoe, yuck.
No matter what, gallardia's(spelling?) just keep blooming-heat-dry-whatever-Jake first planted these about 10 years ago because he picked them out at the store. I would never have all of the flower beds that I do without Jake's strong back and good nature-thanks, buddy.
