Arroyo!

This is our little buddy from down the street. He stops by every once in a while to say hi. He learned how to say our last name and rolls his rrrrs better than a lot of people I know. We had to get a video, and thought it would be fun to post.

His parents tell us that when they pass our house, he'll ask for Chris. One time, his mom said we weren't home. So now, every time they pass the house, he'll say "Chris Arroyo not home" whether we are or not. Super cute kid.

Pretty plants... Ugly bugs

I was fascinated by the blossoms I found on my eggplant and had to photograph them...



And caught a few other cool photos of the garden. New pumpking plant started from seed, more chives (I love their flowers), twisty twirly tendrils on the squash plant...





Then I saw a bug. What I think was a bug.



So I sent this photo to the USU extention to see if they could identify it. I stumped the professor! He's thinking it's an egg sack if not a bug. He says, and I agree, I probably don't want to find out what's in there if it is an egg sack. So I went back to the garden to try and find it - or one like it - so I could squish it, but didn't see a thing. I did see these, though. Intruders. How ugly is the skeleton thing?




The garden has become my project. Pretty fun. Besides discovering the ugly bugs.
