Backyard Mini Nature Walk

So I've horribly failed at keeping this blog up throughout the summer. However in my defense, life has been insane since I've moved. We live at least 45 minutes out of town so our drive time has increased a bunch. If I get off of work at 2 and we make no stops for food, we get back to the house at 3, where you can generally find me crashed out on the couch. On top of that unpacking has been consuming my life, and we're still majority in boxes. Now though I'm repacking because I leave for school in 2 days! Gosh I can't believe how quickly the summer has gone by!
Anyways, I've done quite a bit of gardening since we've gotten here, and I'd like to share with you some of the fun things I've seen!


A rhinoceros beetle that I found.


An insect gall.


Mushroom! (I've become quite the fan of mushrooms lately. It's sort of odd, but I like it.)


I'll leave you this morning with some lovely Tent Caterpillars hanging out in a tree in the backyard.

I hope everyone has a great week! By Wednesday I'll be back in Chapel Hill!
