And GUESS WHAT! The cucumber turtle is back! He’s looking kind of beat up and faded, but still has those unique markings. I gave him a strawberry… I expect he’s heading to the garden for more, as he has done every year. I made him a promise that I will keep, he is always welcome.

You guys getting any rain out west? So far it's all south of me but looks like we will get some here in a while... I might be asleep by then, we went to the Speedy Cone in Wappapello for bacon cheese burgers, tater tots and butter pecan ice cream.

Just saw this fuzzy moth out by the barn…can’t match it up to anything—

Yes! Thanks! I’m glad I didn’t touch it, it says covered in stinging spines that cause irritation

I think that was just the caterpillars

Right, that would make sense
