The start of the week was stifling hot. You can always tell at the feeders as the birds forgo their snacks throughout the day to hide out in the trees. I had been filling the bird baths daily and could see by the end of the day that they had been used by many.
Cooler weather is here now and it's been fun cleaning up the garden and preparing for fall.
It's wonderful to see the chickadees again.
I miss them in late spring as they go off to nest away from their feeding area. But, they are back now with their young and I am enjoying seeing them and especially hearing them at the feeders. They are simply the most charming little bird ever. I have had one land on my finger for seed and it was such a moment. :)))
I ordered on line my very first Emma Bridgewater mug and I love it.
This is called Wallflower.
It is light in weight and holds the perfect amount of tea or coffee.
And it is so pretty to add to the cluttered country cottage china cupboard for a splash of colour.
We are moving along now with the building. The floor trusses were delivered this week and it was not me that told the guy just to drop them on the lawn in front of the bird bath. Nope...not me. :-(
"Sorry, Simon."
Simon lives just to the right under our old pump.
He spends most of his day running from there to the bird-bath, to the feeders, up and down the maple and back to his den. I watched him chase off a sweet chippy the other day and boy, was he nasty. I don't think this little guy has any friends anymore. He's very territorial. He has me, though. :)
And Red's been by lately. He/she's a beauty, right?
Check out that eye-liner. :)
I've been busy cat-sitting this week; four fabulous frisky felines. One of my cat-owners is an amazing gardener and today I was able to capture this beautiful hummingbird at her flowers.
I'll introduce you to Fred. Some of you may remember him from a post I did before but this photo captures his captivating personality quite well.
He.is.adorable.
Audrey, Audrey, Audrey. Must you show me your belly when I just know that if I tickle it you will have my hand for lunch.
Scamp!
Cat-sitting bright and early tomorrow.
Enjoy your evening, everyone.
hugs, Deb
