What a Day!

Extremely hot, then some tremendously neat winds pushed banks of clouds through all evening.

Last Sunday of May, 2006

Beautiful, hot, and windy for most of the day.

The Turnover

Cashmere has been working on the pond all day. She has checked all of the most vulnerable plants and is watering everything that needs it. She has also been lugging her baby around as she works. I'm proud of her for being able. The mowing and weed-eating might cause her problems, but her dad has two riding mowers and at least 10 weed-eaters. She just needs the energy to use them. This will work out well and I'll turn the blog over to her as soon as she gets a new internet connection.

I feel free and they should enjoy having regained control of their yard again.

Chaos

What an interesting day. Extremely hot with very strange wind patterns.

A Day to Remember

Our first day over 100 degrees (100.2), and it was sort of dreamlike. It's the same feeling as getting too close to the interior of a hot oven.

"Here Comes the Sun"

Beautiful, but very hot to deadly hot today. We will be over 100 tomorrow. Some friends came by and fished for a while this evening. I'm always apprehensive about showing it to someone new but they loved it.

Just Another Perfect Day

Cool and still with electric colors this morning, cool and stormy this evening. What a wonderful way to spend the Spring.

Tuesday

Beautiful early morning. I love the smells of this time of year anyway, but the humidity made them better.

Wet Day

Not really rain, not even really all that humid, but it has been overcast and sprinkling for most of the day.

Sunday

We almost had storms. The ring-necked doves are getting closer and closer. The camera just doesn't show it so well.

Saturday in May

Incredibly beautiful day, especially the early morning and late afternoon. I am honestly stunned. The birds are so thick and varied and during the day they appear to be grazing on my lawn. I'm starting to be able to differentiate between some of the small mostly grey birds that have been lumped together up until now. The ring-necked doves are very strange. They move around in pairs, and prefer their water out of the dogs dishes. They are not afraid of my presence, and are barely cautious about Kilo. She rarely chases them anymore and they rummage through my yard like chickens. Noticed again yesterday how the red-winged blackbirds use the red spots on their wings as big scary eyes. I was in the swing and one flew toward me, then landed near and vibrated his wing-eyes for a few seconds, then started catching bugs. Here I'm just guessing. They might be eating grass seeds or worms.
