Fireflies or lightning bugs. For years we had none. I stopped using chemical fertilizers and spraying weed killer on poison ivy about a 10 years ago and they are finally coming back.

Haven’t seen them up close in years. Are they mutating faster than a lab-created virus escaping an ineffective drug?

Gotta get these planted…

Hydrangeas in my front yard.

My tomato plants.

Peppers and Cucumbers( they have been a bit neglected and choose poor soil)

My hydrangeas have very few blooms this year. I may have cut it back too late. Nice looking plants. I like your lawn too. I have a poly culture lawn as well. No weed killing chemicals or insecticides for years here so my yard is filled with birds and animals that take care of insects for me.
