It's not always sunshine, I love to do a little gardening in the cool of the evening. The REM tune has been accompaniment to the task since the mid 80's - which is when I started gardening on a regular basis.
Living here closer to nature than I've ever been has its rewards. The slogan of Sussex County is, appropriately, "people and nature together."
Sunday I saw a hummingbird moth sipping nectar from my monarda (a/k/a bee balm). That was surreal -- I didn't even know that hummingbird moths existed. None of the stock photos I've found online captures the experience or the colors I saw. I'm going to have to keep my camera near and hope it returns. It's very freaky that an insect and a bird should share so many characteristics. Wikipedia attributes it to convergent evolution. Live and learn.....
Meanwhile, the music is coming along wonderfully. I'm going into the studio on Sunday to do more tracking. The plan is to have a finished, sparkling CD in hand by the time the Montauk Daisies (late bloomers like myself) are opened. That will be something.
