I was staring out my window and saw one adult quail fly from the ground to the fence. Then another. Then one at a time their babies. Then one adult flew to a bush then the other and after a pause all the babies. It was adorable.

P.S. We got a few more water lettuces and water hyacinths for the pond and now it looks like a pond where cool people live. The wildlife pond is doing great too.

The juvenile possum paid a visit to the garden pond again last night. Hoping it sticks around this summer.

I glanced out a window because movement caught my eye. Eventually I realized I was looking at an adult quail and about 10 ping pong ball sized babies. They were the same color as the dirt. Baby quail are just adorable and I was lucky to see them being guided into the cover of foliage.

A couple of early morning visitors to the backyard pond bog. We are very happy that our yard, two blocks from the center of a medium-sized city, is a refuge for so many creatures. It's work, but it's worth it to have an oasis.

Found an unexpected treat while cutting the grass this afternoon. A chill turtle was hanging out sunning himself in the taller grass where I don’t cut too often . I see him or one of his relatives every year, they’re likely looking for a spot to lay eggs. By the next time I passed that area, it had boogied back into the woods toward the swamp.

There’s a big old silver maple tree in the neighbor’s yard. There’s a hole in it about twenty feet off the ground that appears to be the perfect squirrel abode. Every year there are squirrel wars next door over who gets to live there and I never realized before how loud warring squirrels can be

This morning, I was lucky enough to see a dragonfruit flower by daylight. They bloom overnight, pollinated by bats, and after a few hours of brilliance, they collapse into a still-impressive tangle of wilted petals.

I've been in the garden today filling the garden waste trashpack. A little cooler and drizzling which was lovely. The Hibiscus plants (both side of the path) are full of buds about to burst and the banana pups are coming up.

A backyard ‘mossagerie.’
