Backyard Field Guide: Dahlias, Dahling

After a week and a half away from home, our garden has just exploded. The zinnias, lilies and dahlias are on fire. It's a hot, humid and lush world here in Wind Alley. The air is so thick that S was able to catch this little moth lazing on our grapevine for more than ten minutes. I can't say I'm going to be doing much differently. I think it's time for some lazing among the tall grass with an ice-cold glass of tea....
