Rocky is 'in the house'.
I don't see them every year, but I see them this year (hint: they fly at night).
Milkweed is in bloom, which is great. Last year it was very late, like late August. Seeing more Monarch butterflies, which is also great.
Last summer was a season of things being out of order. Over years of observing/living in nature, one is used to a progression, and as much as nature doesn't have a calendar, there is a time frame. That is why nature signs can say if it will be a cold winter, or if the snow will be high, or if it will be a dry summer. This year is, so far, 'progressing' in a more orderly fashion. This is also, so far, the most temperate summer in 20. As in not too hot, not too cold, just right kind of weather. A Goldilocks kind of climate.
We had our regular autumnal spot for July this past week, so it is time for summer now, full steam ahead, 5 weeks. If I were a betting man, I would put some money down.
