We're enjoying a very warm weekend, as are most of the eastern provinces and states - mid 90s F in Boston this weekend. It's been somewhat cloudy this morning, but it is now leaning towards sunshine for the rest of the day. With the warm weather lately we've had a few new bugs show up, and with them comes the grand-daddy of stupid bugs, the June bug. These things are the size of a toonie ($2 CDN coin the size of a typical OK symbol made with finger and thumb)and can be found at night bumping into walls, the floor, the ceiling on the porch. They have been observed, wings flailing away, heads to the ground as though attempting to transport themselves through the wood planks. Did I mention that they were the dumbest bugs around? Logan doesn't even find them tasty enough to eat. He's actually taken to trying to avoid them because they randomly float about and make a fair racket doing it, which he seems to think is kind of crazy.
Enjoy the first heat wave of the year. I'm sure we'll have more, and what with the price of energy these days it's going to be costly to be cool. Luckily for us here in the country it tends to cool down at night - something the city doesn't offer.
Note - the pics attached are from this mornings wanderings in the garden. A busy bee, not so busy bee, and the flowering part of a chive plant.
