I got some roses from Heirloom Roses the other day (actually ordered a while ago but slated for late August delivery). They do an excellent job protecting the plants in the shipping container. I was outside unwrapping them from their shipping cradle, when I noticed a cat in the discarded papers:
Who could that be?
Looks like fuzzy thinks something is in there.
Arrggg! You got pictures of me being undignified!
Fuzzy, like probably every cat that I've known (with the exception of Tory), seems to have a penchant for newspaper paper.
Last weekend I was picking goodies from the vegetable garden when I came across two guardians:
This spider was guarding several ripe tomatoes.
I think froggy was actually looking to make a meal of above spider (well, maybe not - they were about the same size), but I scared him off and had to chase him down for a picture. If he hadn't of jumped while I was taking the picture of the spider, I never would have known he was there.
Cute guardians! And glad to see fuzzy having a good time. Did you see the PBS program (it was on, here, yesterday) that included a segment on frogs that had unintentionally been imported to Hawaii--not from the Americas, as I recall--and had become a real nuisance? They are tiny little things, too.

I should have included that the Hawaiians now fear that brown snakes may be (also unintentionally) brought in and will thrive on the frogs. Those would be the same brown snakes that are such a pain in Guam.

Didn't get to see the PBS show.
I thought that brown snakes had already been introduced to Hawaii to take care of the rat problem created by non-native rats. The snakes were causing problems by eating the eggs of some of the endangered bird species. Probably wrong islands I am thinking of.
