Garden Friends

I forgot to water the garden this morning... just forgot. The last few days I've been busy pruning the trees and bushes around the yard.
When we got back from the farmer's market this morning a trip to the dump was in order. At the conclusion of all the morning's activities, I just collapsed in my chair... and looked out the window and saw some very thirsty plants.... I summoned the last of my energy and headed out the door. I was richly rewarded for making that effort. Steel blue dragonflies buzzed overhead, while hummingbirds dive bombed their feeder... needless to say, I couldn't focus the camera on them... but I did finally get this wonderful butterfly to pose nicely and a hummingbird moth. It made standing out in the bright sunlight worth while. For the last few weeks my energy has just been zapped. Fortunately it's not serious. Just a little B-12 deficiency.. more supplements to swallow every day... good thing too as I have a lot more pruning to do...
