Random Summer Stuff

While doing some cat sitting for a friend, I heard rustling in her shrubs and turned to see this.
Can you see that little thing on the sidewalk?

I should have used the video on my camera.  These little guys were way too fast for me.

Here is the parent quail, being very brave.

This little birdhouse was adorable during the past few years in our garden;
seen here during the fall after a trace amount of snow.

But during the week Kim was gone to Montana the wasps did this:

Yeah, it's something, isn't it?
Wasp information.
There's a lot of wasp spit on that birdhouse, that's for sure.
This will get dismantled during their winter hibernation, that's for sure.

Kim planted tomatoes in the cold frame this year.  They're doing well.  He had to remove the roof.

And some random pictures of our garden.

And just look at my son and his family.  Casey is doing really well post surgery.
