Nature watch

We enjoyed the beautiful summer weather last week (and how right we were, given today's rain downpours...).

While gardening and watering, we found a friendly caterpillar who took residence at home overnight and at school the following day. We treated it to fresh leaves, including some of our home-grown lettuce.



Here is our friend in action:




There are now a few colourful flowers to observe in the garden.





Yesterday was not as sunny, but we received the delivery of several plants: eucalyptus, lavender, rhododendron and more. So we spent the end of the day gardening and finding a home for all these little treasures. Several are in the form of bulbs: they will teach us a good lesson of patience.
