Love this one!
There was a little girl,
            Who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
            When she was good,
            She was very good indeed,
But when she was bad she was horrid.

Me too!  And fairly topical, too.  I've got a few hyacinths blooming but they don't look anywhere as good as the ones on the label.

Here is a creepy article concerning some giant hornets that were discovered in Washington state and Canada.  What's frightening is that cold weather doesn't seem to stop them.

Beyond its size, the hornet has a distinctive look, with a cartoonishly fierce face featuring teardrop eyes like Spider-Man, orange and black stripes that extend down its body like a tiger, and broad, wispy wings like a small dragonfly.

The honeybees in Japan found a way to fight the hornets.  They form themselves into a ball around the hornet then they vibrate and generate enough heat to cook it to death.

Wow this is disturbing.
There was a little girl,
            Who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
            When she was good,
            She was very good indeed,
But when she was bad she was horrid.

Here is another shot of my periwinkles, or Vinca, as Dot correctly calls them.  Actually this picture goes back a week or so.  The flowers are beginning to dwindle away for the most part, but there were more of them this year compared to 2019.
