Mom had wonderful flowers in her garden this summer. And there were many cute little visitors this year, including another nest with house finch chicks!
It's fun to watch the babies hatch and grow! There were three this year.

This little froggy got caught between the glass and screen on the porch door. He hopped away happy after I freed him. I don't know how he got there.

Mom's dahlias were the best she's ever had. And the cleomes took over the garden!
Random garden and critter related photos. Sunset in the summer, Fourth of July fireworks, a nasty downpour I got caught in, Rory, and the neighbor's kitten.
