#MothOfTheDay is one of the Thorn moths, the autumnal leaf mimic that is
LUNAR THORN
Selenia lunularia
Quite common in extreme SE UK, but quite scarce elsewhere. Larvae feed on oak, birch, privet and damson.
Two in the moth box last night.

Summer is staying close while I'm not moving much.
I settled in to watch some baseball so she naps next to my chair.
She always seems to know who needs attention.
I found some soup I froze just for a day like today. My husband will heat it up for us for dinner.
Easy peasy.
Taking a sick day when you are a caregiver can be tricky but so far so good.
I'm past the being cranky cause it hurts phase of my back pain.
Thank goodness.

In case you've never been to the Midwest in the late summer, this is what it looks like to drive down a rural back road--one of those roads that has no name, just coordinates--in Illinois: Walls of corn on either side of a road too narrow for two vehicles (but well-mown shoulders).
If you drive down one, be prepared to slow down at every intersection. The corn's far too tall to see cross traffic, and people die every year in those intersections.
Here we are again waiting for a VA medical phone appointment that probably won't happen. They are forty minutes late.
The VA has gotten less and less reliable for phone, video and scheduled tests. After the time is past, sometimes by a day or two, they will note that the appointment was canceled due to staff shortage.
Summer is not amused that we sat here gathered around the phone for an hour.
I'm not either.
Back to my heating pad.

#Allium flowerhead.
Trying to chill today and get some work done. That may sound counterintuitive, but that's just how it is.
