Freaking out a bit here... last night found (and killed) the second brown recluse in a fortnights time!

Professionals have been called πŸ•·

I have always loved the blues, even when they take on a purple hue. Here are some Veronica speedwell, an ancient Dwarf iris, and a sea of Ajuga.
I have since lost the speedwell, but the Ajuga proves to be a most hardy ground cover and looks lovely under my white dogwood. The dwarf iris patch continues to bloom after 30+ years, despite my failure to divide!

My cup runneth over

Pointed out by my curious cat, this unwelcome creature was sitting in my bathroom sink this morning, bold as brass. I thought they hid in dark places?!

Now I am on a semi panicked cleaning spree... #brownrecluse #spider #eek #shakyphoto

Bonne Fete Nationale! πŸ‡«πŸ‡·

Wow! Great capture! Tho I have heard coyotes on our property many times, always late at night... I have never caught a glimpse!

Some friends in England were commenting on the fact that the butterflies seem to be missing this summer, and it dawned on me that I haven't seen any either (in North America) despite having planted several flowering shrubs this year, including a purple nanho butterfly bush.

Plenty of bumbles and hummingbirds, to my delight, but zero butterflies. Here are a few bees & bugs on petals, some from our Botanical Garden, and the Morning Primrose from my own garden.

The Astronomia is the epitome of 21st century haute horlogerie and a globally recognized symbol of Jacob & Co watchmaking expertise. A world-first both in the boldness of its unprecedented concept and its entirely mechanical construction, the Astronomia has gone beyond impressive horological achievements and has been regarded as an outstanding multidisciplinary engineering achievement. Re-engineered from the ground up, the Astronomia Solar is the most compact in our peerless collection of Astronomia calibers.

Looking forward to watching this tonight! If it's half as brilliant as #ofmd it'll be good fun. Love me a quirky indie-esque film!
