Bits 'N Pieces of Gratitude

A flower garden asks little and offers much. Some water which is given to us. Weeds pulled if you are inclined. Sunlight which we can't provide. Space, decent dirt, and maybe compost if you have it.

Clearly coneflowers attract.
The outcome is always the same.

Miraculous.
Amazing.

Dramatic.

We all have wings.

















Then there are those who are on their way to garden pleasures and stop by the blue tarp folding area. These critters - what we call the circuit beetle and longlegger - re-defined the tarp's use, making it a rest stop. They moved on after the photo session.




















From a distance, and thanks to a yip from one of the dogs, I saw and captured our fawns. Mom was close at hand. Silence was called for because no words were needed.

I love the header picture of you and Ed. Great picture. I just got back from going up north with Corinne Farrell. I think we saw every waterfall between Duluth and Canada AND THERE ARE JUST TONS. Hope your summer is going well.

Did you or Ed have enough time to get a shot at these deer before they left the yard?

Will you be having venison sausage for breakfast?

Probably not that much flesh on these youngsters. Probably better to aim at their mother. Then it would be sausage for everyone on your street. Or take to the tavern to go with Friday night fish fry.
