Frost and Snow Flurries!!!

Unbelievable, but on the 8th day of May, we were anticipating 1-3" of snow!!! Fortunately we only got flurries!!!

Unfortunately, frost hit our hostas..., but they should grow new leaves. I'm not sure which is worse, having the frost get to them, or the deer! --LKR

A Visitor Midst the Thorns

We've been out picking juicy red raspberries for over a month, now, and have fought off bees of all sorts, stinkbugs, grasshoppers, and recently after a lot of rain (after a rather dry summer), pesky mosquitoes. ~Groan!~ But I never expected to find this little green frog hiding among the thorns and leaves! Isn't he sweet?

Last year we had one like him residing on a yellow sprinkler under our water faucet at the side of our house. He was partially hidden by the leaves of hostas. Otherwise, he was very easy to spot! --LKR
