I went to my garden to check my tomatoes. Yep they are still there and a few are starting to turn red. I've picked them and some of the large ones before they start splitting. They can ripen up in the windowsill. My garden boxes were full of toads! hopping about!
In the above photo the blurry streaks at the top are a toad's legs as he tried to jump out! I counted 6 in one box. But as I was trying to take photos my leg brushed against something, oooh and it burned! Ithought did I just get bit by a bug...no I just brushed against a plant I had never seen before growing outside one of my garden boxes. It didn't turn red but I was worried it was poison ivy or something like that. Later someone told me it was probably Stinging Nettles, yeah, sure enough, I am glad I didn't touch it with my hands, as I forgot to bring my gardening gloves. (stole this pic from the net, but I think you should know what it looks like and DON'T TOUCH IT! my legs still burn!)
Here are some Goldfinch photos from the coneflowers beside my drive way! Enjoy!
