Heard “PokPokPok” right above my head. Looked up to see this lovely fella going about his business.
Morning
This morning’s sky was breathtaking. Do you see that light teal on the lower right of the picture above? (It’s hard to see in an image this small.) The entire sky was that color, only more so. I ran back into the house for my phone but it just wouldn’t capture all the color. I don’t know why, but I won’t easily forget that gorgeous color, splashed across the heavens.
I bet people waiting for the bus just beyond the fence wondered who yelled “Wow!” for five straight minutes. 😉
Weed Haven
The yard guys are obviously running behind, but I delight in the weeds. Never one to worry over or demand grassy perfection, I’m happy as long as it’s green.
When it grows out this long I plop down amongst the blue, violet and yellow. The bees work purposefully around me, from flower to flower, unconcerned by my presence or that of the dogs. Serenity!
EDIT!
That was February, this is June.
There are some weeds left, but I pulled so many by hand. No chemicals around the dogs!
Hitch
I noticed a little hitchhiker on my dash while driving home from Home Depot yesterday.

He posed for a picture and then I tried to capture him with my used mask to return him to the wild.. as one does.
Not having any part of it, the little hellion ran across the dash and lunged at me, landing on the top of the steering wheel. At eye level!
I didn’t wait to take another picture, preferring to flee my own vehicle instead. Good luck, little Hitch.
