Roseofsharon

I saw a seven spot ladybird on my squash plants recently - have not seen one for years, mostly the harlequin ones nowadays, if at all.
That reminded me that I haven't seen an earwig for ages, although our current garden is in a quite different location with different vegetation which might account for it.

Lamb Chopped

We've got a new raccoon living with the ground hog under the deck and we need to find a philosopher to name it after.
