It is no news to any of you that this has been a really hot summer so far. Here in my Austin suburb our thermometer reads 100.6. I know it is even hotter in town. Any outdoor activities are pretty limited to evening and morning. No walking in the nearby greenbelt. I can’t even sit in the shade on my porch in the afternoon. We make sure we put out water for our little feathered friends and others. I am sharing a few photos of some visitors to our backyard. They are making my summer enjoyable.

Nice photos Betty! It is 106 degrees now, down from 107 a bit earlier.
I have two rats coming under the fence for water and ground seeds or corn. Trying to keep fresh water daily and bird and critter food out daily. This is the 40th or 41st day in a row that’s been over 100 degrees and we have now a total of 56 days over 100 degrees. Some like it hot. I have to say, I don’t like it this hot but I don’t like the cold either. Whatcha gonna do?

Thank you Joan! Yes, we keep our bird baths full and clean. Lately, in the afternoon, a hawk flies down to the one in the front yard outside my office window. Can’t get photos through the screen, but I enjoy watching them. Cooler weather is just around the corner!
