Except for some special projects, I finished my last professional responsibilities for the summer on July 1, and this is my first weekend off. On Thursday I leave for the the National Youth Science Foundation's West Virginia Youth Science Camp near Ripley, WV for 10 days. We have a lot to do this weekend, but I'll capture a few photos for posting (click for a larger version).

Diane's butterfly garden |
Diane's butterfly garden seems to have naturalized, with just a few weeds. As most of you know, a butterfly garden must have complementary trees available and also a shallow puddle. The latter is sometimes a challenge in our part of West Virginia.

A second greenhouse |
I found this little greenhouse, complete with doors, heaters, motorized baffles and other features for $500 several years ago. With Jamie's help, we're finally getting it assembled. I haven't yet dug the trench for water and electricity, but at least it's started.

Wild raspberries everywhere |
