Flora and Fauna
We drove by Grandpa and Julia's this afternoon to bring them squash from our garden. Ben was reluctant to part with it, but I assured him we were in no danger of running short. No one was home, but we still spent an hour there, looking at the garden and its inhabitants, like this gorgeous hummingbird moth. The dialog on www.hummingbirdmoth.com
sounds just like the conversation Ben and I had.
And we saw what some other creature had for dinner. Most of the leaves of this plant had been reduced to veins, but there was no sign of the diner(s), and the surrounding plants were untouched.

I retired as a technical writer years ago. Since then I've spent my time reading, writing, rabble-rousing and raising my two orphaned grandsons. Because they are now grown,I still spend time reading, writing, quilting, and in advocacy for many causes. Don't get me started on politics. My day-to-day life is fairly quiet, but my fantasy life is soaring, and I take mental excursions almost as good as the real thing.
