| At the beginning of the day, I found this garden spider (Argiope aurantia) in my front yard. They are also called writing spiders because of the unique design in the middle of the web. |
 |
| By the mailbox I discovered a blue lobelia (Lobelia siphilitica). |
 |
| We spent the rest of the day at Lake Glenville (highest elevation lake east of the Mississippi River), where we saw a swimming squirrel. Yep, but what makes this even crazier is that we saw a squirrel swimming in this area of the lake a few weeks ago. He must really like to swim? |

| Then, at the end of the day an osprey swooped over our heads and landed in a tree right next to us! I have witnesses! |
