Critters in the garden

 not the best picture, funny roost for the red shouldered hawk in the background
 hawk feather
I love it when Lizzy's tail falls through the cracks when she's sleeping

Epazote

I'm going to try to put more food info on the garden blog. Epazote is an herb that has been used for a long time when cooking up dried beans, e.g. the Mayans used it for cooking black beans. It helps with digestion. Another use is putting a leaf inside of a quesadilla. There are also medicinal uses. Anyway, it grows here and there in the garden.
