It stopped raining on Saturday so I hauled up the last load of gravel, and decided to put the paver base into the cee-ment pond. I actually won’t need the last 6 bags, but I’m keeping them anyway because I’m going to put pavers over the messy spot where the trash can sits. Anyway, the gravel is finally gone from behind Sarah-Flah’s garden, and I cleaned up the roots/trash that was unsuitable for leaving in the flowerbed. I also did a test fit for the pavers, both to make sure they fit, and to keep weight on the ground as it dries.

The patio concrete has shifted over the years, so I might have to trim a couple of the pavers.

P got me a butterfly bush to replace the one PL killed.

The one little larkspur I had last year in the Honeysuckle Horseshoe came back.

A struggling hollyhock.

Found this guy Saturday night. No ID yet. EDIT: Mayfly in genus Maccaffertium, unknown species, adult male.

Milkweed is exceptionally popular with pretty much anything that flies and likes nectar, but I especially love my little Snowberry Clearwing moths. <3
