I love watching my garden come alive on summer mornings. Birds, bees, and small mammals stir as the sun rises. Today, the tall mullein stalks, crowned with yellow flowers, catch my eye. A hummingbird darts between the blossoms, a woodpecker forages along the stems, and once, I even found a vole family sheltered beneath the broad leaves.
