Hummerpaluzza.

8-1-14 VERMONT: One of the elms I planted a few years ago is now casting a big afternoon shadow over the veggie bed in. Anticipating less and less sun for the veggies in the future, I mowed a bed-sized patch in the middle of the pasture and covered it in black plastic to kill the turf grasses so I can start a new veggie patch next year.

It remains very wet. A walk around the yard to fill the feeders this morning soaked my shoes. We had dense fog at dawn, which has now lifted somewhat, but the predicted sun hasn’t appeared as yet.

New blooms: soapwort.


Ruby-throated Hummingbird, female, and Bee Balm.

One wing and feet.

Back and tail and wing blur.

They're very into red.
