I was in the garden for about 5 minutes today before I reached my limit.  My area has been invaded by gypsy moth caterpillars and it is not pleasant to be outside.  Not only are the furry caterpillars all over the house, plants and ground, but they are in the trees and eating all of the leaves.  Many trees in my yard are leafless and it looks like winter!  When you are outside you can hear what sounds like raindrops, but it’s actually the caterpillar poop falling from the trees.  OMG!  The bright spot in all of this is that I have some pretty flowers blooming in my garden.  Only problem …. I don’t want to go outside to photograph them!  Here’s a quick daisy image from my 5 minute garden excursion today!
