More on ant productivity...I don’t love ants, but I do have an incredible amount of respect for them. And just like the mostly unseen, but helpful, work of the under-appreciated critters (spiders, ants, bats, etc), ants do their part - eating bugs and hauling away debris. Everything around ants is kept clean and tidy (at least from their perspective).
Passion Flower
It’s Foxglove (Digitalis sp.) season!
I live in a beautiful, temperate rain forest (the Olympic Peninsula of Washington state), but July and August are typically warm and very dry months here. The entire West Coast - outside the Oly Pen - is already experiencing severe drought conditions, setting up significant summer wildfire season concerns. I’ve been meditating on and envisioning what we Western Washingtonians call Junuary (a cheeky name for a local weather pattern that feels like we’ve returned a bit to Winter...in June...we used to occasionally have this happen in July or August too, but those days are gone, I think). I once dreaded Junuary. I’m historically very solar powered. I like a warm, sunny day.
It’s that very precious time of year when I find active bird nests everywhere - not only in trees, but in garden arbors & trellises, tucked between a downspout & the siding of a house, on the ground in tall grasses, and in low shrubs, etc. These mostly beloved winged ones do their best to both adapt to our impact on their surroundings and steer clear of us at the same time. We haven’t made it easy for them.
