It’s been quiet lately (which is probably good), but I didn’t want to let too much time get by without a post. The deer continue to bring their fawns, but they usually run into the woods or the meadow before I can get close enough for a good photo. The one above is a twin who was brave enough to get close and even tried a bit of apple.
It’s rained all around us, but we haven’t gotten enough to wet the deck, despite the thunder and lightning. Nothing has come of the 70% chance they called for today, so I guess I’ll be watering my vegetables tomorrow morning.
It does seem to be mushroom season, although I haven’t seen any sign of the chicken of the woods that has been so regular for years. Last year it was big by now. I have seen other mushrooms, however. (I use iNaturalist for identification but am not confident of all of these.)
Remember the turtle from the last post, the one that seems to stay in the ditch? She was gone the next day, and this beautiful male has taken her place!
Construction on the new house continues. They’ve started the framing, and I hardly know what to expect from day to day.
Not much to write today. Maybe I’ll show you butterflies next time!
