I notice the butterflies love the zinnia plantings in the vegetable patch.
I have not lost any more chicken to predators, for which I thank my handsome rooster. His aggressiveness to some of the chickens seems to have abated. Here he is with Lady Macbeth, who is still missing feathers from the back of her head, but they now seem on cordial terms.
And the rains we have fortunately received have promoted sprinklings of mushrooms throughout the woods and perhaps encouraged the turtles to explore their surroundings.
Finally, I gave some of the wax collected from the last honey harvesting session to my neighbor and she worked some magic and produced a wax cake (or so it looks). She said she will melt and strain it one more time, perhaps with cheesecloth.
