Blackberry
By the time many of you will read this, it will be Wednesday morning and hopefully the last frost. Today (Tuesday) the low was 45 and high was 58. I worn my heavy coat with that wind blowing today.

Engelmann’s Daisy (Engelmannia peristenia) is looking pretty across the road from our mailbox!

The Prairie Verbena (Glandularia bipinnatifida) next to the Engelman’s Daisy was purty too!

I hope the chickadee babies will be ok tonight. I bet mom will be snuggling them tonight.

Bugs were still out this afternoon. I like this one with its white “hooves”.

This guy was on my Tharp’s spiderwort. I wonder if it was chewing on it? Petals were chewed on. I think it is a plant bug (Metriorrhynchomiris dislocatus).

This cat has such a pretty green body and sports a brown head and white collar. I’m guessing it belongs in the Owlet Moths and kin (Noctuoidea) superfamily.

Where a blackberry will hopefully form. I hope the cold in the morning doesn’t spoil its plan.
