As I was watering the tomatoes, I noticed the first two tomato hornworms of the season. I always dread finding these, because it's a little icky to squish them, so green and juicy they are.
On a sweet note, this is the best year for our six blueberry bushes. We manage to harvest a small crop each day - enough for granola and ice cream -- before the birds and chipmunks find them. Kodi is indifferent to fruits and vegetables, so we don't worry about him nibbling at the bushes. Our previous dogs loved fruits; they would pick blueberries and raspberries straight from the bushes. We've also picked gobs of blueberries from Inkwell Farm, a nearby organic farm that is loaded with berries.
So much conveyed about summertime in just 3 photos!

I used to have a mystery critter eating my raspberries. Then I caught it red-handed...my chocolate lab. He loves fruits! Apples, too.
ReplyDeleteJohn -- And boy was it a summer day today!
ReplyDeleteCasey -- yes, labs love fruits, well anything actually
