Today while working on the computer there was a wasp exploring the window nearest to where I was working. I have only seen it a couple of times ... a mason wasp (Monobia quadridens) seemed to checking around the window for a cavity to explore. Interesting niche ... works as a pollinator and as a predator of moth larva. They are black with a white ring at the beginning of their abdomen ... I could not get a picture of it ... so had to go to google images and the Oklahoma University biosurvey, website as caption. They are beautiful but, both the males and females can sting.

I did finally get the garage cleaned and lots of items moved to our barn. This evening we got about a half inch rain ... corn is tasseling in the bottom so the moisture is welcome anytime.
Going to tackle the garden next for a late garden ... probably to feed the deer.
