Bees, and wasps, and a frog friend

My year of the bees continues. They seem to like Cosmos, Joe Pye weed, and oregano.

When I was working on the mulch between the beds, I noticed some agitated wasps. Turns out, they have nest tucked under one of the boards. You may be able to see one wasp make its way into the nest opening, in the middle of the board at ground level. What to do? I certainly didn't want to get stung, but yet I'm committed to pollinators this year. So I've left them alone. I work around them, and they leave me alone, too. In fact, I've noticed fewer cabbage caterpillars this year. Once we get a hard freeze, they'll be gone. I can wait. 

And here's a tree frog on my compost bin. I've been busy so I haven't had a chance to stir the compost like I should, so he has a feast of flying food.
