These are marigolds I grew from seeds I bought from the Ukraine. I bought them on Amazon but they arrived in a hand written envelope from the Ukraine. They were viable and grew into huge bushes with golden flowers of palm sized marigolds. Heavenly scented and thrived even in the drought. I planted too many and had to give away some. Our donkey loves the flowers and gets them as a snack. These were a pleasant surprise for me to grow. I am looking forward to planting them around our farm as they bloom all summer until a hard freeze in winter.
This is a vole the size of my thumb. Our cat left me this rug snack on our outside deck rug. You can see the two puncture marks on the hip and shoulder. Voles are very active at night when our cats hunt. They make tiny holes in the ground and nests.
