Luna Moth
Brooks Carver, author of Pilgrim Heart, shares this photo of a luna moth, a creature rarely sighted, that he took in his back yard:
Brooks at least is having a good summer for a farmer up there in Illinois:
Timely rains here. Corn and beans are spectacular. Looks like a rare good year for farmers. (Like a sighting of the Luna Moth.) Price and yield both good.
He must, as the saying goes, be holding his mouth right. Second cutting of alfalfa on our farm yielded a whopping 25 rolls as draught takes its toll. Farmers are already feeding hay to their livestock because the usually lush grass of the Bluegrass is drying up.
Meanwhile, my old friend in Yorktown, Texas reports:
We have not had flooding here in Yorktown but some heavy rains and some just drizzle so you can’t get out and do anything. I planted 36 periwinkle plants like I do every summer because they tolerate hot dry weather and this year they all died!
