Katy and Will came for a visit today, and that included two trips to the park and lots of underdogs on the big oaktree swing. The mosquitoes are bad here, though, so we had to be careful outside.

The small amount of garden maintenance I have been able to work it was also hampered by swarms of bugs attacking the face and neck.

The grass has not yet gone dormant, but it looks like things are getting pretty dry. The purple coneflowers, being prairie plants, are finding conditions much to their liking.
