As I was getting ready to water our plants, I found this beautiful moth nestled inside of the greenery. I haven’t been able to identify the type of moth, so let me know if you can identify it. 🙂 A big thanks to my blogging friend Dawn over at Guiding Light Homeschool for letting me know that this is a White-Lined Sphinx Moth.

You see when most of the country is enjoying the bountiful harvest of the warm summer months, our area of the country shuts down due to the scorching arid desert heat of the summer. Yet, there is one thing that can still be seen for sale on the roadside – watermelon. Watermelon and summer seem to go hand in hand no matter where in the continental U.S. you live. I can remember back when Munchkin was just little. We were…
