Supervisors getting ready for their working day

Not shown in this picture of innocence: Gram waking me up 1.5 hrs before my alarm clock by pouncing on my toes under blankets. Briar has been a good this morning, though.
What about THESE toes???
She’s ready. The classic stare-off. He had a few good meows during this too.
Surprise attack!!! The dog loves to fall over dramatically when he goes for her neck when she is already laying down.

French onion soup

First we must get approval of herbs (moss curled parsley) from the sous chef.
The cooking begins.
French onion soup with a side of chicken. Onions and parsley from the garden.

Sunday field trip to Lexington WMA

Butterfly milkweed.
Wild heliotrope.
Had leaves like greenthread but a yellow center on flower.
Compass plants all facing what we think was east.
Bigger view of the compass plant valley.
A megachilid bee on butterfly milkweed!
A whole field of Echinacea!
Rosa sp.
I know this one. I’ll look it up. Edit: wild bergamot (Monarda fistulosa), thanks Mom 🙂
Happy!!!!
A Dun Skipper on prairie bluets.
Asclepias viridiflora (thanks Abby and Mom!)
Shade good for fluffy dog.
Another view of the Echinacea field.
Note the matching orange dog in background.
I remember this plant.
She tried to get humans to join her but we’re no fun.

Yesterday’s stuff

The Chef got three jars of dehydrated onion stems/leaves from our harvest of granex bulb onions. The bulbs are still drying in the hall.
My hat is irresistible to Gram.
He tries to eat the string and tulle until I get fed up and put it up.
Fleabane in full bloom!
Photography is boring for dog.
Dill starting to bloom.
Elderberry is thriving.
Full view. It’s just one plant!
A tiny bee on Gaillardia pulchella.
A young (?) lynx spider eats a house fly while sitting on coreopsis.
Coneflowers are going strong.
I need to look up the name of this skipper, which is sitting on a dayflower leaf.

Stop it

Apparently corn is just as good as grass to chew on.
In less aggravating news, the second set of (newer) Christmas Lima beans are up.
I like how you can still see the bean pattern.

Arkansas yucca seedling is surviving!
Blooming (above) and done blooming (below) dwarf pomegranate.
The pie/sour cherries before I got around to picking them.
Sleepy supervisor.
