an ode to the “summer uglies” 🌼

some snippets from the garden this week πŸ’›πŸ©·πŸ§‘

to be honest, I haven’t had time to prioritize the garden lately and the “summer uglies” are slowly taking hold 🐌 but yesterday morning was a good reminder to slow down 🐒 and admire that everything finds a way to take care of itself 🌱

-how lucky are we to still have so many pollinators 🐝

-the zinnias that popped up all over the garden from last year’s blooms have been a colorful surprise πŸ’

-the anoles are our regulars 🦎 we have spotted so many babies in the flower beds this summer and of course, there is always one that hangs around the grill and torments ollie through the screened window 😹

-our “air-bee-n-bee” has been booked and busy 🏠

-this pretty swallowtail kept fluttering around me as was hanging clothes out on the line to dry πŸ¦‹

-what a joy to see for the first time today that our sunflower finally bloomed!!! 🌻

-the horn worms have arrived and appreciate my tomato plant donation πŸ›

-how sweet was this hummingbird that we spotted through our kitchen window when it found our blooming overgrown garden bed radishes 🫜
