Do you smell that? Last night I went outside to take some pictures and Oh! What a difference 10-12° cooler makes. It was only 82° at 8:30pm and the air felt so nice.
Again this morning, can you smell that? I went out before 7 am to take a picture of the morning sky that had a little bit of color in it and it was 70° instead of our usual 80° to start the day. This is from last night...
We had to run a few errands this morning and pick up our Tuesday Taco Salad from Rosa's. It was a short night and already been a busy day. But I finally made it to The Hill. I can't wait to see what you have been up to already.
Then you know where I will be heading since it is only 90° right now. I also have to put Milkweed seeds and some variegated AirPlane plant cuttings in the mailbox for my sweet mail carrier for tomorrow. Even with cooler temps the plants are VERY thirsty. And I saw the hummingbirds late yesterday and early this morning!
I have already watered all plants in the back as they were completely wilted. I was almost wilted by the time I finished. At 8:30, we are 84° feels like 88° and Hubby is weedeating.
As I walked outside at 6:30 am, I saw a hummingbird. It has been too hot to sit on the patio to watch for them but their feeders are fresh and full. The Turks Cap, dark purple Salvia and other plants are blooming and just waiting for them too.
We are praying for rain Sunday night and Monday along with some cooler temperatures. The area is already 7" below "normal" (do we know normal anymore) for this year and adding an additional 3" below from last year. Fires have just started breaking out again.
But for now the birdbaths are all full of water for the butterflies, birds, and bugs. And the plants, like the milkweed above, are all watered. I hope you have a beautiful day and weekend.
I know I can't top my story from yesterday, so I will just ask if you have something wonderful to share. My blessing today is my Hubby. He dusted and vacuumed... while
I ran a few errands this morning. I am trying to get caught up since I will be working on Friday and Monday. And Hubby will pick up something for lunch tomorrow and eat at the office with me. So it will probably be over the weekend when I will catch up with you. I do miss hearing from you Lorri!
