In the garden...I see a faerie!

What's Happening

As many of you know, Beep, (my granddaughter) is spending her summer school holiday days with me.  We've had some nice (cooler) weather, so much of our day is spent outside 

 

I am also in the midst of an MS (Multiple Sclerosis) relapse.

Winning a few battles, but the war is far from over.

 

Serious reading!

 

Butterflies visiting

 

Bubble fun

Garden harvests, yes...she loves beets!

It's a little battered, but still beautiful.

If You Can't Stand The Heat, Don't Go Outside!

It gets very hot and humid, very quickly in my part of Canada this time of year. 

This weeks temps are predicted to fluctuate between 92F and 102F.

There's not much activity in the yard when the heat rises to these levels.

 

A couple of locals still stop by once in while.

 

 Blue jay

American Robin

 

 Black squirrel (Harold)

 

Grey squirrel (Twix)

 

The flowers are blooming beautifully.

Aquilegia Canadensis (Canadian Columbine)

 

But the weeds have seen better days.

 

As for me, I stay inside, where the air conditioning

keeps the temperature bearable, at 70 degrees,

and take photos through the windows!
