Hi Linda.
My feelings are hurt, it seems it didn’t miss me in the slightest! Even the “Botox Lady” didn’t really acknowledge me on my return…she has been too busy twirling her new “do” (more on this in my next post), and the Naboos never show much emotion at the best of times! Time ticks more slowly in a garden it seems.
Texas had more rain than Scotland while we were away! Amazing! And it has not really stopped…word of warning Linda…bring your mosquito spray. The moisture combined with all our foliage (if not protected) = an immediate nibbling by thousands of the annoying things…they seem really bad this year? They especially like to lurk under the shady Hoja Santa, that area is practically out of bounds in the Patch, people have been known to walk into the the Root-Beer plant, only to emerge as bones on the far side!
Lets hope for a cold snap soon.

ESP.

Good grief! It doesn’t look like the garden missed you much. Really splendid garden and incredible pictures!

Hi Gail.

Glad the hoverfly image struck a chord. They are such tiny little insects, it is amazing what a macro shot can do! I think Germi is onto something with her insect earring idea…could be a line of products…I am thinking aphids, (for their color)… (see next post), even stink-bugs for the more goth in us all! The sky is the limit for this theme, as our ears would be for a large dragonfly set of earrings! What about a line of insect beading necklaces? I know you know somebody who would love to help with that :-)

The picture of the hoverfly is beautiful. Would love to have my own pair of those hoverfly earrings! Glad you found out about the tiny birds nest things.

Fish petting – now that’s a new one!
