The bug bloom is huge right now, thanks to the return of the rainy season. The cone-nose bug above wanted to get into the house and eat us, but was out of luck thanks to the magic of window screens and silicone caulk. The yellow-ball flowers are from a whitethorn acacia. They are quite common in our area, and easy to spot when in bloom, thanks to their bright, safety-yellow flowers. And the chubby caterpillar will grow up to be a sphynx moth, after pupating underground for a couple of weeks.

| Can I go to work with you? |
Although the area is pretty quiet during the summer, we've been plenty busy with solar work. But it is nice to go into town and have some fun during the summer, when all the turistos have checked out until cooler weather. Just last night we had a blast celebrating our dear friend Debbie's birthday. Nothing proves true friendship like standing up in a bar and singing karaoke in front of friends and strangers.

Also managed to carve out some time for a bit of landscaping, or more specifically Xeriscaping. Just some pretty rocks and a few cacti for now, but we're far from done.
