We have another beautiful day. Should be only 99 and normally we don't hit 100 after about this date.
I made hummingbird food yesterday. Today I have to bring in the feeders to clean and refill them. Don't want the hummingbirds to think there is no more food as the feeders are almost completely empty.
I will soon have a crop of butterflies. This caterpillar only feeds on the Passion Vine plant. Here is what it will look like.
I also have bumblebees that are hungry. This one looks like it hasn't missed a meal in a long time.
Yes, my yard is a zoo with birds of all kinds and sizes, hummingbirds of several varieties, butterflies of different colors that are hard to video, squirrels, frogs, crayfish, wasps, flies, grasshoppers, ants, fire ants, mosquitos, caterpillars, and lots of other hungry critters.
And the weather will start to cool off a bit in the next 3 months or so, hehehe! But you are always invited to come over and sit on the patio and watch all the activity. However, I do have quite a few (ok, a whole bunch) of bites on my legs and arms from mosquitos.
Hope your Tuesday was nice - it was another 91 day here with a pop up thunderstorm this afternoon leaving us with 1/4" - and I watered my plants this morning!! Have a wonderful Wednesday MK! Hugs, Wendy
Oh my is it hot here. Its 100F and could get up to 103. And there is a hot breeze too. I was out and about earlier and got home when it was hot. I'm staying inside where its cool by the air conditioner. I hope you stay cool too. Take care my friend, Cheryl
I just hung a new hummer feeder and moved the other one a few feet away. They were confused as this one is clear glass and I make my own food - might have to buy some so they'll come to it. It funny to watch them as I have 3 and one of them keeps chasing the others away and won't let them feed. Hope you are keeping cool - it was 91 here today and 94 in town. Have a tasty Tuesday. Hugs, Wendy
Hello Marykay, I jest love watching them to. I could watch them all day, I set in my swing and watch them when they feed on my bird fedder. Take care, Stay safe. Hugs.
Left house at 9:30 this morning and it was 1 pm before I got back with groceries. Whew! What fun is shopping. Do you enjoy it. I used to love it and I guess I really did enjoy it but I was sweating by the time I got home and most everything put up.
Then it was time for lunch and some computer fun. I hope I don't even have to go out to water plants because it is just too hot. Is it hot where you are?
Just so you know, when I was out and about shopping at WalMart and Costco and whatever else I shopped, I was smiling and trying to be nice to everyone. As soon as I get off the Hill, I am going to read my kindle because I have a great Christian series by Liz Isaacson that I am enjoying! I Can't wait to find out what you have been doing.
With fall in the air and back to cooler days and nights I just had to brew up some New England Coffee flavored caramel apple to brighten up ones day even more than it is now.
May you have a nice Monday sharing your smile . Smiles Gloria
