Small, late-summer flowers are starting to bloom.
In addition, the slugs -- which have been out (and often squished) -- are also loving the early morning dew.
Last week, I mowed about a quarter of the lawn area, which I had left to grow "wild" since late May. I'm planning on mowing sections of the lawn in order to minimize the amount of frogs that I might kill during the process, since there seems to be a lot of the small guys that are living in the tall and overhanging grasses, likely picking off the many (many, many) insects that live there.
