Beautiful sunrise this morning as the dew point was low and so was the humidity. So we got all of the foundation watered with soaker hoses this morning.
I don't have a picture of a hummingbird but as I was watering plants, I got a picture and videos of this Walking Stick. He came up out of the green plant and camouflaged himself as the exact color as the chain.
Have you seen a real Passion Vine flower? They are so beautiful even if they only last one day. There are lots of them though and the butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds are all pollinators that love them. The leaves are used for feeding by the larvae of a number of butterflies. So take some time today to look closely for unusual insects and to stop and smell the flowers.
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!
Another pretty page MK. Hope you are having a good start to the week. It's 90 here today but is becoming overcast a bit. Not sure if we are due for rain. Leving to go away tomorrow for a few days. Honey's daughter is going to watch the dog. We'll drop her off as it's on the way. Have a relaxing nite. Hugs, Wendy
Hi there my friend.Its a nice, cool and rainy day here. Well the morning was rainy but at least it isn't hot here. I've enjoyed the cooler temperature but the heat will be back tomorrow. Oh well, its to be expected since its summer. Had a nice short trip this weekend. Got to see my oldest daughter and our two grandsons while we were in Oklahoma City. Not doing much. Just getting caught back up on the laundry from being gone. Wishing you a wonderful day and take care. Hugs, Cheryl
