We played frisbee golf earlier in the week (twice!), and mini golf today.

I took apart and reglazed one of the bedroom windows today, so that the glazing compound can cure while we’re gone and I can paint it upon our return. Imagine my surprise when I lifted the shade and saw what I at first thought was a hummingbird affixed to the outside of the screen.
This is some sort of sphinx moth, probably either a five-spotted hawkmoth or a Carolina sphinx. These species spend their caterpillar lives as a tomato or tobacco hornworms, respectively, and as such are big crop pests. But it was cool to see this very cooperative adult moth up close.
