It poured all night. There was so much rain that, with the first coffee in hand, I headed out to dump water out of my flower pots. I learned quite quickly that they can only drain so much and need a little help after a down-pour.
I found this guy clinging to a sun-flower. It's like he has a suit of armor on. What the heck is it?
I ran into a toad as I headed to the old pump. No camera in hand...he was gone in a flash.
I had some succulents to add in-between some of the annuals at the old well. This is the best time to dig when the dirt is damp. I am now finished planting here. It's been fun adding lots of colour and a variety of plants. It's here that I love to sit, enjoy a cup of tea and solve the world's problems (or maybe just my own. :)
A beautiful blue-jay arrived to take a quick soak in the bird-bath. I just let him be and didn't disturb him.I am not seeing too many of these birds right now. I think it's too hot for them and they have headed north. Two mourning doves dropped by this morning. First ones I've seen in awhile. I miss them as there were so many here in the Spring.
The heat and humidity have returned to Ontario. I'm so thankful for our little air-conditioner that can cool down the mouse-house in seconds. And so are the felines.
Cool as a cucumber, Audrey.
hugs, Deb
