Check out the swallowtail butterfly larva I found a few minutes ago. She is munching down on some parsley. Too cool.
The cherries are from one of two trees I have that are living in buckets. I only purchased them last year and each has put out a little fruit this year. Perhaps next year we will have enough for a pie. How awesome would that be?
Ouch! This Paul’s Himalayan Musk rose cane and a couple of others just like it have been topped by one of our local, and getting braver by the day, deer. The picture is on the fuzzy side but look at those thorns for goodness sake! They are huge and red to boot. Isn’t red the color of ‘danger! warning!’? What kind of mouth does that animal have that he/she can top these bad boys? I am afraid to get within a few feet of this rose, a few yards during a windy day. I can’t imagine those thorns felt very good going down.
