Here, we'll change it up a bit with a monarch on a marigold.

Raindrops keep fallin’ on my kale
But that doesn't mean my eyes
Will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain
By complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me 🎹🎼

Remember, be nice to bugs.
They come out on top in the end.

My magic tie-dye Winter Squash are starting to color up. How beautiful!

I love Yardlong beans, particularly these ornamental burgundy ones. Time to make some stir-fry!

Another tasty harvest to fuel yesterday’s big planting effort before rain comes in today.

Sunlight, verdant foliage, nectar, a butterfly, a metallic bee, a dragonfly—all signs of a happy place full of life.
Feel free to revisit as often as needed, particularly on a Monday.

Ohh… finally got ‘Climbing Honeynut’ to make some squashes for me by hiding it from the borers of doom under the tangle of monster squash foliage.

The seed seller did not overstate the size of these lovely tomatillos. 🤩

Another big beautiful bowl of #homegrown blackberries. The garden angel on one shoulder says share them with my family. The evil twins on the other side say eat them until your fingers are purple or start a bidding war… 🤪

Finally reaching the end of annual
Cicada screaming season!

I thought I hated blackberries growing up because grocery store varieties are all hard & pithy inside—gross! Then I planted my own & now I have dreams about blackberry season. These are not even the same fruit. #Homegrown forever!
