Honeysuckle and Trumpet Vines
The smell of honeysuckle is in the air!

“Ask a toad what beauty is, the supreme beauty, the to kalon. He will tell you it is his lady toad with her two big round eyes coming out of her little head, her large flat snout, yellow belly, brown back.” ~Voltaire
Mourning Dove
Mourning doves sitting in the pine trees behind our house. I like to hear the sorrowful cooing, which is both sad and comforting.

Garter Snake
This snake recently found its way into our yard. Our dogs were pretty inhospitable towards it, and eventually, it slithered away. I love my dogs.
