Announcements, Part One

Today, we gather at the marigolds.

By their own consensus vote, the mule deer have assured us that they will stop eating the marigolds.   Not so the native gay feather.  Not so the fire wheels.

The ladybugs have agreed to move their meet-and-greet to the wood roses on Saturday morning.  Aphids are urged not to attend.

As a courtesy, the Northside Wasps wish to inform the Eastside Ants that they have detected the presence of antlions near the chokecherry bushes.  For the safety of the ants, they are urged to avoid the chokecherry.

Finally, a reminder that huckleberries are ripening at most elevations.  And remember, those berries are not going to pick themselves!
