garden pests

 The Lakeview Center for Active Aging has some plants which are giving their last to some pests or another.

 Squash plants (either crookneck or zucchini) are finishing their production cycle, and some bugs are enjoying the leaves.

The cucumber plants have been decimated by some hungry thing or another.  Nashturtiums that volunteer seeded are blooming though.

We will be looking for something else to plant in this area soon!

 Echinacea is looking pretty good!

Queen Ann's Lace and Lavender are blooming by Lake Tomahawk, where the water is still muddy from yesterday's rain...but the beautiful clouds float in a sunny blue sky today!

Today's quote:
It is our task to imprint this temporary, perishable earth into ourselves so deeply, so painfully and passionately, that its essence can rise again, invisibly, inside us. We are the bees of the invisible. We wildly collect the honey of the visible, to store it in the great golden hive of the invisible.
Rainer Maria Rilke
