Thank you all 
Yeah, a mosquito poncho might work. I'll drape a sweater over my legs & feet if I want to sit outside into the evening. It sort of helps.
I don't love spiders either!
The garden is taking a lot of time these days so the doll pix are mostly garden-related too.
Finallyfinally, we have pumpkins underway, and Red & Samantha went to check them out.

Whyyyy did you have to flower outside the fence. I couldn't pull the stem back through before it was too big. So, we have to make an extra little chicken-wire surround and a bed for it.

"And this one is we-sized!"
Last year's squashes grew out of the compost bin. Hopefully at least one this year in the garden; waiting to see if a 2nd flower took.

All this pollination requires getting up very early in the morning. It took 5 tries to get this, because there is not enough room to put the camera there and still see through it. I considered posting an outtake with the top of her head. Guess I should've left a bit more room between boxes and fence.

A bit overdressed for the hot morning, but she's enjoying the sun.
I went back to bed.
My wee star hasn't had a portrait in a while.
