The ElderPea found PopPop a bucket hat for Father's Day! He's been wanting a hat like this for a while and none of us has had any luck finding one. The YoungerPea got him a very classy golf shirt. Dog and Fluffy came over bearing wine and goobers, Deacon cooked sausages, DamCat brought some delicious corn chowder, and Father's Day was a grand success. Key Dear even managed to organize a round of bocci (such as it is, played around the yard).
The YoungerPea spotted a Giant Leopard Moth on the screen door, and we snapped a quick photo. I didn't realize it had iridescent spots until I looked at the photos. What a gorgeous moth, it looks like someone stuck jewels on its wings. Next time we'll have to capture it and have a look at its body - it really is a spectacular moth.
edit: Key Dear managed to capture one and we took a photo of the body - who knew what was hiding beneath those wings?!
I am so jealous of all the activity that goes on around King Street with all of you uniquely configured characters contributing your unique geniuses (genii) to the mix. The Key contingent seem to add a whole 'nother dimension! The environment continues to amaze with all the wildlife that continues to appear at your door. I've never seen a Leopard Moth before and yet you were lucky enough to see one at least twice.
