Still warm here but humidity has gone down some which is nice. Japanese beetles eating up the roses. Never tried a beetle trap since didn't know if would do more harm than good. Haven't seen any hummingbirds since late winter. Finally have begun seeing a few butterflies. Lightning bugs quite dramatic at twilight.
Quick overview of the trip-- Stayed with Emily and Spence and daughters Lucy who is two, and Susannah who is a few months old. Ate all sorts of freshly made foods at their place on Emily's parents farm compound. Fresh bread, canned food they canned, chickens they raised.
Adam's wedding was at Cicotte Park in rural Independence, Indiana; reception was in nearby Attica.
Sunday met with Michelle and Neil and 3 year old Xavier at the zoo, and had fun with the prairie dogs and goats and geese and the like.
Lafayette seemed about the same after three years. Weather was cool, and the rain waited until after I'd left.

Yeah it's Comcast. They had returned to the light a year and a half ago, but since late last fall have apparently been drifting back to the Dark Side. I woke at 4:30 AM a while back and tried an experiment. I won't say surfing was fast, but it was noticeably more reasonable than usual daylight/waking hours of late. And I now remember the reason when I first moved back I was up to dawn on the computer--wasn't because I wanted to do that, but simply--I could only reasonably do anything online from about 1 AM to 6 AM. I could tell when people were waking up because I'd abruptly be unable to do any more. Oh well--back to burning black candles and chicken sacrifices to make pages load. haha
Trip to Indiana went surprizingly well. Greyhound wasn't my first choice of travel mode, but it was the least expensive. Met lots of strange and interesting people! Haha.
(Ok browser crashed--but Firefox's Lazurus brought it back.)
Well I had good weather on the trip--seems the rain started after I left. And another wedding there in mid July!
More on the trip--

Well--I'm going to be doing a hit and run driveby of Indiana this weekend--for a friend's wedding. My first time back in three years. Seems like yesterday, but I figured if I don't go now--when will I? Need to maintain some connections. Adam is a Marine, and the festivity will have "biker security?" Not certain what that means--but I'm sure it will be memorable. A car drive acorss the USA would have been nice, but after estimating car rental, bus, train or airplane--Greyhound wins--haha. I think. Staying with Emily's family, and get to use their car. So--so far--one wedding and two picnics/cookouts for me. Maybe I should do this more often? Haha Hopefully rain will take care of new plantings.
I'm sorry I haven't been able to post pictures of recent flowers or last winter's snow. Some of you may remember past blogs I would do like picture stories. My current set up seems to stall or struggle to load at times --and it can be discouraging. But when I get back I'll try again.
Recent plantings include foxglove, blue delphiniums, marigolds (which something is eating), impatiens, hollyhocks, tomatos. peppers, sunflowers, candy tuff, salvia, and others--haha--
More soon!

I've been told I should keep a flower journal--though squirrel journal might be more accurate.
I planted summer bulbs the other day but forgot to spray repellent on them. I was rewarded with precise, surgical holes where I had planted. Another battle is a red ball feeder for sunflower seeds for small birds like goldfinches and such. I had greased the wire holding the feeder, and when they tried to go back up it--they were running in place like a cartoon. And soaking them a foot away with the hose was fun--though they figured out not that far to jump to the ground. I could have put sharp sticks under the feeder, which would have not bothered me at all--but probably would have been upsetting to neighbors and passing cars. Various combinations of pie pans didn't work too well. They'd just sit on the pie pan and ride it like an elevator as it shredded apart down to the red ball. Large coffee can on the wire didn't work at all. Bad thing is they train each other how to get into it, and one will shake seed out for those on the ground. Today I got large plastic saucer and melted/drilled hole in it and moved to level limb where it all would be more flat against the invaders. So far no rodents in the feeder, and lots of happy small tweety birds.
Local weather has transitioned from drought of recent years to a monsoon like season--which we will all take.
Will go see Star Trek tomorrow at the less expensive matinee. Previews it looks much better than the last two things.
"Haunting of Hill" by Shirley Jackson was an excellent book. Structually much more intricate than might seem at first. Like Thorton Wilder's "The Bridge over San Luis Rey" seemed simplistic but wasn't.
Back to work.

I hope everyone had a nice Easter/Passover/Spring weekend. Yesterday I watched Mary Poppins and Willy Wonka, and did housework and gardening during the long commercials. Saturday we went out to Ted's Montana Grill for my birthday, then went to friend's house and dyed Easter eggs and watched The Ten Commandments.
I always wonder when I'm in a season of the year--if I'm "doing" it right, and or enjoying it while it's around. It's been very flowery here, though frequently rainy or cold, or very windy like right now. All of which is better than the drought of recent past. Right now my red seed ball swaying in the wind, covered with goldfinches.
Going to the Tea Party at the State Capitol Wednesday. This one being broadcast nationally, since CNN HQ just down the road--so maybe you might see me--haha.
Sometimes I never know if I'm awake or really dreaming. Was startled the other night to hear footsteps in the living room where I was dozing on the couch, beginning in front of me then walking around the house. Or it might have been the kitchen ice maker and me hearing it in my sleep. Other than that--my usual dreams of spaceships, alternate timelines, or zombies or space aliens.
Haha
