Welcome visitors!

Linda and I had lots of gardening to catch up with today, but it was really great to enjoy these three visitors to our garden! The hedgehog comes most nights to eat birdseed (!) and has been doing so for five or six months: he rarely shows up in broad daylight, though. The Small Tortoiseshell, amazingly, was a first for the year in the garden: one of about ten that appeared today. The frog lives under our patio set and sits on the lawn while we eat our barbecues: as soon as the cover goes back on the table, he hops back underneath!
