Hi Everyone!
Hope your day is going well. It is slow and easy for me today. I just don't feel like doing anything. I was walking the perimeter of my yard while I spoke with my daughter on the phone. It's a good way to get some exercise. Anyway, my eye caught a glimpse of something on the ground. I took a look and ohhhh here is what I found. It was dead already.
Kind of pretty.
It is about an inch long. I don't think I have ever seen a live beetle here.
I never thought I would be a gardener, especially adding flowers too.
I am finding I love all the color.
Here are just a few.

I have Marigolds in yellows to oranges.
This is a squash blossom.
Have a really wonderful day today.

ReplyDeleteThe beetle looks like he has painted stripes. So interesting! So glad you are enjoying the outdoors. It’s so hot and humid here that I can’t stand being out in our yard. This too shall pass, everything does. ☺️
ReplyDeleteReally interesting dead beetle. But the flowers from your veggie garden are the stars today.
ReplyDeleteLike Barbara, it's too hot here to be outside for more than a very few minutes. Long enough to water my plants, then rush back under the AC for me.
The flowers are more to my liking ;-)
ReplyDeleteApparently squash flowers can be fried and eaten. Saw it on TV once.
ReplyDeleteThose flowers are lovely, thanks for the photographs.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
