Summer Rain, Summer Pest

Do you remember the fun of playing in the rain?

The thrill of get all your clothing soaking wet.

And rain in your eyes

Not having a care in the world

And wanting to spread the (wet) love!

Running for the shear fun of it

And watching life go by

Ah, Sweet Summertime!!

Now for the PEST!

I was so proud of my squash this year

I recently purchased a little bell pepper plant to add to the mix

Things were going so well..

Then this

Look right below my finger...you will see a little hole

from this nasty guy. Larva for the Squash Vine Borer


And while I was investigating, I found these.

Mexican Bean Beetles larva

*sigh*
Keeping fingers crossed that I got to the second pot before too much damage was done. And since I'm the only one in the family that even EATS squash, it's not a national emergency. But still, those pots were looking SO pretty! I do love the pretty yellow of the squash blossom.

Hope you have a great weekend!
