I went down to feed the worms Labor Day morning and although the wet weather has caused very tall ragweed the sunflower field is in full bloom.

Tall Joe-Pye weed has white fluffy tops and the snow on the mountain covers many bud areas. Thistles are making purple tuffs. The big bluegrass flowering and the Indian grass has yellow top.

There are plenty of grasshoppers and if you can catch one, hold it upside down by the legs and it will become very still so you can see its spur throat or bond wings.
