I love these bright red tiny berries that flank the South corner of our patio. They are called “snailseed” and are a favorite of the local cardinals.

I was checking flowerbeds and stumbled on this American Bumble Bee. It’s mid-October, so this little guy is at the end of its lifecycle. We had a lot of American Bumbles and Sonoran Bumbles this year. I hope next year…
