Ketch-Up Day

 

How are you? What's new?

We got some rain Sunday night.  Who would have thought those crystalline droplets could fill a person with so much joy? I swear the plants and trees were smiling. The birds certainly were;)  It has been so dry here. We are still in drought conditions. My relatives in Illinois have gotten more rain than they need as has a county over from us. It's like, most days, Mother Nature gets to our area and she's all rained out.  Toes-crossed that is going to change out. What about you? What's the weather like in your area?

California

Thanks, Denise :)

My buddy's husband was in the car munching on chips which attracted the birds.  Pretty cute, huh? 

Now the location of where they were at : Bodega Bay, where the famous Hitchcock thriller THE BIRDS was filmed.

 

And on that note, I will leave you:)  

 

Ketch-up Day

 

It's

 

So kick back and relax.

Meanwhile in the garden 

This is the first grapes, and pretty much the only grapes, from the vine the HH got me last year and I let them sit too long before harvesting. Maybe both the grapevine and I will do better next year:)

 Crepe myrtles are blooming all over town.

 

The birds do like to nest in our rose bushes.

I saw this little guy sitting on the birds' water bath the other night.  You can't tell from the picture but he's teensy, tiny. About an inch long.

Have a great week and stay cool.  And if your weather is already cool, woot woot. We're under the heat dome here.
