Morty loves her redecorated habitat, and has taken to not only climbing the top of her lichen covered cave, but even climbs onto the edges of her pond, which she usually ignores, just to sit on the new fun stuff.

After my dog discovered the snap peas were tasty and shredded every one, I decided I'd go with a perennial type nitrogen fixer. I had a little alfalfa in my pollinator garden, and I hear they can grow from cuttings, so I started some to put out when cooler weather comes. They'll be put into most of my garden bins, I can harvest the seeds for sprouting. Ended up rather charmed by the stems I gathered, I can wait before I put them in soil.

Found a swallowtail toes up under my bee balm, took the chance to grab the microscope. It's so easy to see how they keep inspiring beautiful dresses.
