WE SPIED A TURTLE FROM THE HOUSE WINDOW

 


Purple Loosestrife, a noxious imported weed.  Very pretty but it crowds out other wetland species.  These plants are growing on an island in the river adjoining our park.

A day or two after our record breaking high temperatures, I was walking up the street to pick a few apricots when I noticed this petunia growing in the crack between the cement curbing and the asphalt.  Amazing!
