Happy Labor Day, which was yesterday of course, but I had the day off and hope you did too, and were out in your garden enjoying the diseased and insect riddled plants.

Happy Mothers Day!
Just like clockwork and in time to thrill your mother for Mothers Day, the telia of the fungus Gymnosporangium juniperi-virginianae appeared on area junipers.
