It’s been three whole days without a Thomas post.
He got to try peanut butter ice cream. He approves.
Also he is a supermodel.

Butterflies
Hobomok Skipper
Male Eastern Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly
Sulphur Butterfly
Polyphemus Moth
The butterfly photos were taken this evening, on my patio. The Polyphemus moth was lying outside the front entrance of the library, when I left work today.
Honeybees
The bees are still swarming the flowering flame-leaf sumac.

Oh look, it’s raining
It’s nothing like what’s happening in Louisiana, thankfully, and it did clear up this afternoon.
The flowers are happy, at least!
It was pouring rain when I walked the dog this morning, though. Thomas got drenched, so when we got home, he got his first bath. He was really good in the tub, but he HATED it. That’s okay. I don’t know what I’d do with a dog
who liked baths.
He humored me afterward and let me take a photo of him in his towel burrito.
Goodwill Haul
The last few times I’ve been to Goodwill, they haven’t had any books I wanted. Today I found a bunch.
I also saw, but did not buy(!), a bunch of 8-track tapes.
And bonus begface. Did you know that cute aggression is a real thing? I just want to squish him and nibble on his adorable ears.
More Progress
Thomas and Piglet
I woke up a little before 1am and saw this happening at the foot of my bed. It took Frances and Piglet almost two months to get to this point. Thomas has been here just two weeks.
They aren’t besties yet, by a long shot, but they’re making quick progress toward friendship.

An Uneasy Truce
I went outside to try to get some butterfly photos, and this was happening when I came back inside.
Eastern Tiger Swallowtail
The butterflies have been swarming my zinnias.
Salsa
The only thing that tastes more like summer than homemade salsa is fried green tomatoes.
