We have been getting ton of rain. In the last week the fish
ponds, streams and roads all flooded. The truck even got stuck right on the
farm.

I had to give the whole rabbit herd medicine for mites this
week. The first step was to find their weights. Surprisingly they all
cooperated when they had to be weighed.

I believe this is a mature Goliath ant lion. The larva stage
of some ant lions is the thing that makes inverted cones in the ground that
trap ants. When they grow up they get wings.

These are variegated plantains. Both the leaves of the plant
and the fruit have white stripes in them.

Nonedible Ornamental Banana.

Besides all the rain we have been getting, there are also
tons of flowers around.
 |
Roy has planted bunches of Heliconias around. These bright
flowers attract a few kinds of shiny sun birds.
|
 |
These flowers are the first blooms on a bush I planted outside
my house. The flowers have a really odd structure compared to other flowers,
and have a really nice smell.
|
 |
Under my outside faucet I planted a bunch of colors of Balsam.
They are all in full bloom this week.

 |
| These little guys are a native wild Hibiscus. They are really small, and only bloom once a year. |
