This Sunday I went kayaking with family at Mallows Bay on the Potomac River, the site of over a hundred rotting hulls of World War One era wooden ships. This website describes the history behind the site well: The Ghost Fleet of Mallows Bay

One of my peonies that escaped the rain and isn't lying on the ground. If you look closely, you can see a couple of the ever-present ants. Marcia

Amelanchier has many names, depending where you live. Here in PA most people know it as shadblow serviceberry or just shadblow. I did make a pie from the berries the first year that the trees bore. Apparently it took the birds awhile to realize how good they were. My reason for planting the 6 trees in the first place was for the birds, so I let them have all they want. The berries are very seedy, more so than elderberries, so making jam or jelly would mean more work than I want to do. Littlemonkey, that jam recipe does sound good though. Mine are shrubby trees that sucker profusely. Dh keeps after the suckers to keep them from taking over the yard. Here are 3 of them in bloom in mid April. They like moisture and are planted here with a River Birch.

Getting caught up, since I was gone for about a week.

This saddleback caterpillar will deliver a painful sting if you happen to bump up against it. A tree guy working in my yard found it with his elbow.

I had been stung on the back of the neck a week earlier by a different species of stinging caterpillar, and looked after the tree guy got stung, and found this one.

I didn't even know "Stinging caterpillars" existed, and then I find two different ones in my yard in the space of a week.

Bob, I've never heard of stinging caterpillars! Thanks for the heads up and sorry about finding out the hard way.

That little bugger you show looks amazing with the "shirt" he is wearing. Nature never fails to amaze!
