Take a Break


This little phoebe has the right idea.  Relax!  She's sitting on the nest she built in the crook of the downspout on the north side of the house.  I only took the one photo as I didn't want to scare her.  Although they are quite bold and I don't think they scare very easily! 



It's another hot day.  I took the pool filter apart to clean it, also weed whacked around the planters where it's difficult to mow.  I did my outside work in the shade before 9:30AM.  Right now I am taking a tea break and writing this on the deck.  Later I'll go down to my studio which is the ground floor, on a slab so it stays pretty cool.

Happy first day of summer.

Thanks for stopping by.............*s*

  1. Happy Summer- I was out in the garden by 7am- I know what you mean- out early and out late... like the slugs, they were out late and we placed some beer to see if they would take the bait and they did!

  2. When I had my lavender farm, I'd get out there at 5:30 am, sometimes it would get over 100 and one three week period we were over 115. I had to water three times a day, just about killed me, but I saved the plants. Hope Meredith is giving those slugs cheap beer. Ha.

  3. I just did some mowing this morning, early while it was still fairly cool. You've got the right idea.
