Lace

We're in the height of Queen Anne's Lace season. Here, it's called carotte sauvage (wild carrot). The prolific blooming normally occurs at the time when summer begins its slow fade into fall. The plants almost carpet the vineyard, but much of it has been cut back. I cut a fair amount of it when I mowed the yard yesterday. Not to worry; there's still plenty left all around.

An insect rests on a flower head that looks like it's just about to open.

The zucchini plants seem to be in a lull. Thank goodness. There are still six squash in the kitchen to be used or processed, not to mention Big Bertha on the deck. Ken has plans for that one. Stay tuned.
