Not a leaf and my first pumpkin

That is not a leaf but a Satyr Comma butterfly.  Part of the Bush foots butterfly family.  Named for the mythological woodland deity. Satyrs know the secrets of wine making. I need some of that knowledge!
I'm thrilled to have my first pumpkin forming!  No critters are eating the vines any longer and they are loaded with blooms so I just my have a nice patch after all!

  2. Glad to see you blogging again, and about pumpkins! Today is the Saint Anne's Day, when the blueberries are ripe (in my Saguenay homeland at least). It means, in a way, the first day of the beginning of some kind of harvest. For me, this is when summertime is slowly starting to end.
