Things in my late spring garden that thrill/don’t thrill me.

In order of thrill:

  1. DRAGONFLIES
  2. HUMMINGBIRDS
  3. SONG OF THE THRUSH
  4. FIREFLIES

Totally off the thrillist:

  1. DEER
  2. MOSQUITOES
  3. THE PROFUSE ANONYMOUS BROAD LEAFY WEED(?) THAT’S NOW SIX FEET HIGH ALL OVER THE GARDEN AND HAS TO BE HACKED BACK EVERY DAY
  4. GRAPE VINES

UPDATE: And who knew how lucky I am to see hummingbirds, dragonflies, butterflies, bees, and fireflies all the time?

*****************

I’ve been seeing this guy – a male whitetail skimmer – all day. (Tried to take a pic but it wouldn’t sit still, so this is from Wikipedia.)

    Not sure why mosquitoes are not first on the list.

    Cmon UD, show us the anonymous six foot voracious weed.

    Also, grapevines are wonderful.

    Anon: Coming right up. I’ll photograph it tomorrow. I desperately want someone to identify it for me.
