I love this week in August. The fullness thereof! Big fat bumblebees know that my squash are in bloom. Behind them, the wild goldenrods are attracting many jewel-colored tiny wasps and flies. Along the roadsides white flat-topped asters and several species of goldenrods and even silverrod are in bloom and the whole roadside flutters with spangled fritillary butterflies. In the milkweeds the Monarchs are pupating in their green jewel cases. What a wealth!
