Iron Weed
I hate this time of year, because it’s ragweed season, and my allergies are just awful. However, it’s also iron weed season, which makes me happy. There’s a garden in my neighborhood with black eyed susans and iron weed growing together, and it’s just beautiful.

Funnel Weaver Spider
I’m not super keen on sharing my patio with spiders, but I do appreciate that they eat bugs. Lots and lots of bugs. These guys are also really docile. They pretty much just stay in their webs.
