We were mowing the lawn when P saw her, she was digging in, and I won’t pick her up, so the picture is bad, but she’s an ornate with a chill attitude and a big chip out of the front of her carapace, so I know it’s Boxy Roxy. Back for the third year at Parview. I was so happy to see her!

The second wave of Pipevine nomapillars.

Cool-looking seed pod on Virginia Snakeroot.

Partridge Pea seeded itself everywhere this year, but it’s welcome.

The recent rains have made the 544 Bright Lights bloom beautifully. They didn’t get very tall, but the flowers were covered with bees and even a Snowberry Clearwing.

Pretty white lily in the pond. Which, BTW, now has crystal clear water. Yaaayyy!
