Hello Friends,
Our days have been full of sunshine and no rain. It is getting very dry here and that is expected for August in our neck of the woods. The cicada's are signing and the butterflies are dancing during the day. And in the evening the crickets sing and the lighting bugs dance.
During our walk last week we came upon a walking stick. We have not seen one in years. It was fun to stop and watch it walk.
Hello Mr. Walking Stick
We are in full bloom.
Our grapes are turning purple. It soon will be harvest time.
Looking up at more grapes.
I have started to collect seeds.
The seeds below are of the pink poppy.

We are still eating strawberries. My netting idea is working. You cannot see the netting very well in the photo, but I have netting on stakes, held down with the pots. This is keeping birds, chipmunk and squirrel out from stealing our strawberries.
We are still dealing with these guys. Thankfully they do not eat the vegetables or fruit.
Wishing you a fun filled August. We have a busy month ahead enjoying the warm summer days and cool summer nights.

Great pictures, Carla! I've seen a praying mantis a few times in the garden. They are neat to see! I love that you collect seeds to plant for next year. All of your flowers and produce looks so good. Great job! I hope you get some rain soon. We had a decent bit over the weekend which was lovely.
