Monday I did began to feel the cold ease up some, talking about the cold in my HEAD...it's been dragging on a while now. So I got out my yard blower and did some pine needle clean up on the old brick patio...felt I could do a little more so I opened up the mower garage pulled it out and rode it around the yard. I must add that on that morning the humidity was a tolerable 44% and there was actually a breeze.
One thing I like about riding the mower around is I feel content, it's a time to just go on auto pilot and circle around as if I'm in a labyrinth, it def has healing power. A little noisy tho!

the Moon wants more Zen sounds
The Male hummingbirds left on July 30th. The females are not as eager to leave and some extra ones showed up as well...I saw 5 at one time dive bombing and a couple times they did share. Soon the feeder will be taken apart for the last bleaching and stored away for another year.
Wednesday I went out and found one of the wren chicks on the ground, the other two not in the nest, I picked him up put him in the nest little bugger jumped right back out so I guess it was time... the adult was calling this is one reason I wish they had not nested so close to the house...I could have spooked them walking around,,,the pot was only 4 ft from my porch door.
Has it been 10-14 days? I think this is a little early but it's not up to me...
The parents were rounding them up when I gave up and went inside I was doing more harm than good at that point,,,
Mom
I found this click bug in one of my empty watering containers he found himself in a place he couldn't escape but I heard him making clicking so I turned him out on a fence post top,,,,Mom
He hugged his legs in tight and went into play dead mode...sort of like a turtle, his head is hinged and even it is clamped down tight.
So I rolled him over and I was surprised to see he is actually covered in a stiff bristle of hair..
The flower pots and beds are slowly coming of age and the Red Sedum is about to open, to me it is the last of the summer bloomers and then the fall bloomers begin to make a bud...
Im about to pick my Butternut Squash and another flower or two are trying a last ditch effort but I don't think there is any hope for more fruit this year. The eggplant is giving it one more try also...
I did enjoy the one I got to eat! The Squirrel took the other 5!!
And this out of control indeterminate tomato bush finally has some tennis ball sized fruit...
I tied mesh around them after taking this photo because I found one on the ground chewed up but not eaten...Squirrel AGAIN!
it rained and the little hummers got wet...just another day in life to them...
We take a walk around the yard on good days Floss finds a cool spot to watch from under the spice bush
Annie and I found this feather it's about 4 inches long Hawk, Owl? I really don't know
Im not a big Parsley fan, so I saved this for any Monarch Caterpillars, so far none have shown up..
I will be sure to save the seeds for next year.
Another cycle is about to complete.
PEACE
Every day is a new Adventure.
