Sounds lovely!

My ‘Whole Peanut Wreath’ is NOT going to be a ‘feature’ this summer...the squirrels and chippies figured it out within MINUTES and the thing was empty within two hours!

I’ll put it up again come winter. If I stop the supply of Free Foodstuffs to The Squirrel Family right now, maybe they’ll move on before then. Jerks!

That’s what happens here, too! I *sort of* miss the birds in the summer, but they are still out there. If I provide it, it disappears quickly. I don’t mind them showing the babies where an easy food source is, but I don’t need a whole flock of everyone either. Right now, I have Tufted Titmice, Cardinals, Gray Catbirds, Chipping Sparrows, and Carolina Chickadees coming to the close feeders with their younguns. Oh, and lest I forget (I wish I could), House Sparrows, and House Finches, too.

It was pretty hot here today, so this afternoon, when hubby was almost finished with work, we went to our little town’s pool to cool off. After 4 pm, it’s only $5 to enter. Well, that was a winning idea! Great way to cool off! We need to make use of this more often. It’s only open for 2 more weeks. Once school starts (August 6 here), they can’t staff the lifeguards. Bummer. The heat remains until around Labor Day, and sometimes a bit after that.
