Daily Compost Haul

I had a vegetarian day today, as I do about half the time when I'm cooking for myself. It's pure laziness. If I'm feeling slightly less lazy, especially in the winter, I eat pan fried frozen turkey burgers. Anyway, today's haul included remnants of pak choi, lemon, summer squash, scallions, and a half a watermelon. I try to get it out to the garden every day this time of year, otherwise it draws fruit flies.

Losing Water

The water level was about 8" low today. It's been hot and dry, but not hot and dry enough to lose 8" in 3 days, so we've got a leak somewhere again. Either that or the pump flow is too high and it's overflowing from the top pond rather than flowing into the bottom pond. I turned the pump off for now, I'll have to investigate more thoroughly within the next few days. Before the water starts turning green.

Weird Bug

He's a little hard to see, but you can click the photo for a bigger version, and click again to magnify that. He looks like a darker blade of grass, just below and between the two clover blossoms, approximately in the middle of the frame. The only reason I noticed him is because he made quite a flutter coming in for a landing.

Pergola

And grape vines coming off the top of the apple tree. The Mr is still plotting to get them on to the pergola instead of the apple tree, or at least in addition to the apple tree.
