EllGab Garden Walk.  I managed to come across this ghost on a wall.

  Excuse me, I did not quite get that, could you please repeat what you just said?

@juan I just soaped down the rose bush.
On the opposite side of my backyard, I covered my plants in garlic powered.
Time will tell.

Let us know.

At first glance this appears to be an interesting cloud, though it is not a cloud at all.  It is a jet trail that has been buffeted by the wind.

You can see another jet making a contrail down below.

Holy Cow~ @Rikki Gins
That is NOT a cloud. Yes, it is white and in the sky.

We go out into nature a lot. Sunday drive's and such. Here's a shot or two from a recent outing.   Too fucking hot outside or I'd share some beautiful yard and lawn pics.

I've shared a great many shots from both places over the years. We've downsized to one residence now so the 2 acre place on the river is no longer. Only having one place to take my lawn OCD out on is a much easier life.

ME vs the INSECTS in Philly. I have upped my ammo. I remembered a very mean 'old lady' neighbor's words. She gave me some advice. "If you ever get head or body lice, wash everything with FELS-NAPTHA soap." I am going to chip up the FELs. Mix it up with some water in a spray bottle.

@FISH  None of my business of course, but I would like to caution you about applying soap to your plants.  It is possible to over do it and the leaves of your plants will run the risk of being burnt.  Don't get me wrong, soap applications will get rid of certain garden pests, just keep it light, know what I mean?  I wish you were a monitor.  One of the benefits of being a monitor is the ability to communicate with insects.  As an example, I had a sawfly infestation a number of years back, but no more because we came to a mutual agreement not to harm one another.

Ok @Rikki Gins  what do the insects think about chili powder?

@FISH  I couldn't get an answer regarding chili powder because I couldn't find any bugs to talk to.  But one of my tomato plants told me that regular black peppercorns dug into the soil at planting time is a regular tonic against certain bacterial infections and insect pests.  Yes, monitors can also communicate with plant life.

MONITOR 49. About 3 years ago, the TENT caterpillars destroyed all my hop plants. I would tie hop twine from the second floor window. By mid July the vines would reach the second floor. The TENT caterpillars broke my heart.  The caterpillars built their white tents all over my hops. I cursed those insects. Like an Irish style of cursing. We had words!  I don't use foul language. Hence, my OH BOY statements. I am going to have a talk with the insects tonight, maybe we could start over.

PS/ since the hops were gone, my brother and I fixed up the trim around the windows and door frame.

I like that picture. Your house has scales like a @FISH too.    I am also a fan of colored doors. 

Our strawberries have started in the last three weeks so a new morning ritual is picking whatever is ready each morning.  They all wind up in my post workout protein shakes.

I have noticed that others post pictures that they take whilst out on walks.

..soooo, while out for a downtown walk today I stopped in for a black and Tan. ..It's only natural
