Summer backyard sights




 It was a good year for all of the Lily's.  I was worried they would peak when we were in CA but they graciously waited for us to return.  We also planted zinnea's from seed.  They are so pretty to look at and add to my view at the kitchen sink.  I have seen humming birds and many butterflies also enjoying the flowers. We do have a Mr and Mrs Cardnial that come around. We have a couple good insect indentification books, but I would like to get an Iowa bird book. 

We thought the coloring on this guy was super neat.  We looked it up and it is a leafhopper.
