by Amy

I was walking around my flowerbeds and spotted this huge spider with his web across the leaves of a hosta. I went back into the house, got my camera, and when I came back he was still patiently waiting, so I snapped his picture and I was really pleased to have gotten the web too!

This week, I saved this guy off the back of my three year old before they met face to face. I've never seen a praying mantis actually move, and boy was he fast. we studied him for awhile, made a good friend, and planted him on a big comfrey leaf to find his way home.

Lipstick Strawberry Blossom
by Cindy Mc
Lipstick Ornamental Strawberry
These spread like crazy and are wonderful accents of color when they're blooming. I snip off the runners and move them to fill in empty areas around my perennials. They come back each year, and bloom off and on during the spring and summer. Bright lipstick colored flowers and lush leaves fill in quickly.
