Mistletoe and moths
I'm blogging over at Rurality today, and won't detain you here. You really need to hurry on over there, not just to read my post on chiles, lavender, and mistletoe (which of course I want you to do), but also to see the absolutely stunning photos of a hummingbird moth enjoying a nectar snack from a Virginia bluebell (posted on Sunday, March 30). An intimate glimpse of an essential act.
When you've finished reading Rurality and entered the contest, here's something else for you to read: a brand-new review (just posted this morning) of Nightshade.
Reading note: Nothing in this world is really precious until we know that it will soon be gone.--Donald Culross Peattie, The Loveliness of Vanishing Things
Great review, Susan! I work at home much of the time and my shiny copy of Nightshade is sitting here begging to be read. A good incentive for getting the work done as soon as possible so I can spend the evening with China and McQuaid.

You had a site, I thought, where you were posting photos of micro gardens, nature's own. Am I dreaming?
