And yes, our Sluggo is quite the dapper fellow and I think he knows it!<BR/><BR/>Sandy, I think we are about a week behind you folks. I have a few other veggies;swiss chard, tomatillos (I love salsa verde), cabbage, brussels sprouts, zukes and oh, how can I forget the summer squash!<BR/><BR/>Zoey, we had a bat in the house a few weeks ago, much to the cat's delight. We managed to save him and get him back outside.Giddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04810313282013706875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30213254.post-89370135527544690352008-08-11T19:40:00.000-04:002008-08-11T19:40:00.000-04:00It sure is fun to spend a little time looking for ...It sure is fun to spend a little time looking for insects to photograph. I have not done much of that this year. <BR/><BR/>I don't know about the bats....two people at work told me stories of bats getting in their house during the past week. I think I would rather fight the mosquitos! LOL.<BR/><BR/>The summer sure if flying by. It won't be long and you will have to get out some of your wool knitted socks.Diana LaMarrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11324428666401187803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30213254.post-54017254770471133422008-08-11T17:59:00.000-04:002008-08-11T17:59:00.000-04:00Giddy, you must be just behind us.

I think that second butterfly is an american painted lady.<BR/><BR/>It is very cool here this evening. The rain hasn't started yet, but sure looks like it. Do you plant vegetables, too? I just have tomatoes and cucumbers this year, and they are in full swing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30213254.post-25619273771476418672008-08-09T22:34:00.000-04:002008-08-09T22:34:00.000-04:00You got some great photos of the butterflies, bees...You got some great photos of the butterflies, bees and beasties. I've seen some very tattered butterflies too, and lots of varieties this summer. Also lots of different bees. Have you seen any hummingbird moths? They love the monarda (bee balm). They don't stay still long but I managed to get photos of one last week.<BR/>Those hollyhocks look like beautiful fairy hats :)<BR/>We have bats in the attic. Perhaps that's why we are rarely bothered by mosquitoes. <BR/>Lucky you to have frogs. I wish I had some to gobble up the slugs! <BR/>I had no idea gnomes were such good builders! Your bean tower is a beauty!<BR/>You get the best pictures of Sluggo. He sure knows how to sleep :) What a handsome fellow he is.Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18362584475435433892noreply@blogger.com
