Seems like less activity up here than usual ----is that "dog days of summer"? Blazing sunrise and flare are like the red of Canada's Olympic team, and the gold of many medals. 24 in 21!
Dog day or not, there's always something new. Local geese have been prolific. The endangered butternut tree suddenly revealed lots of fruit. A Red Admiral butterfly clung to a screen window, pondering to be an in-sie or an out-sie? And despite the name, a first sighting ever of a Common Whitetail dragonfly.
Those monarch caterpillars continue to get the royal treatment. Who's watching whom --- the girl or the creature? The protective tent gets taken down as the caterpillar has crept away to be a well-hidden chrysalis.
More visits from that bear, this time while we were away for an hour. Garden underpad got ripped apart in search of --- grubs? And the usual temptation at the bird feeders --- no leftovers.
Lazy hazy summer treats include bbq burgers on the patio, a weekly Chinese special, and yummy TropiCanada muffins, a house specialty. From the name, guess what's in them??
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun...
