Greeting from upstate NY (Hamilton area). We have early fireflies, too. The wild strawberries don’t promise to amount to much this year.

The other morning I discovered the upper segment of a Luna moth’s wing in the grass. Happy bat, sad me. Nature’s way.

I would attach photos but attachments are not allowed. 🙃

Good piece Larry. Fits with the little quote I like: “all creatures great and small” Surprising (or maybe not) how many birds like grape jelly.

Jelly brings lots of birds - but I sometimes fear we're turning them into grape-aholics!
