It has been several days since a buggy post!  Most unlike me.  But never fear, the carder bees are here!  They have been very happy this weekend, enjoying the lovely warm weather among the late summer flowers in my garden.

I have forgotten the name of this purple flower but no matter; it shall henceforth be known as carder bee heaven.

Nearly there!

These small bumble bees are very cute.  Or is that just me?
