Hunting Grounds

Most likely the rain is bringing out the mosquitoes and other insects because I’ve seen more dragonflies on missions than ever before. Normally they’re not abundant until July/August • In Maine we have 158 species of dragonflies, accounting for 36% of those that exist in North America • I saw this one perched on a garden stake marking the balloon flower I need to transplant. The image was so overwhelmingly green I thought it looked better in mono • In between showers I scattered a bunch of annual flower seeds I found in a tin. Who knows if anything will germinate but what a sweet surprise if any do • I also planted ornamental eggplant seeds, also known as pumpkin on a stick. They look fun and I enjoy having something new and different in the garden each summer. This year I decided not to grow cucamelons but I’m hoping someone out there in blipland is! • Happy Saturday!
