Summer 2011 Begins~Pictures
Jun 6^th, 2011 at 9:05am

We've had 4 days straight of 100 F (with heat index, was aroudn 110). We're already under a state wide burn ban. The ground is cracking, it's so dry. Went out Saturday to take some pictures (told Jimbo that if I got that bright idea again, chain me to something so I couldn't leave).

BTW, what is that red squirrel doing? Looks like he's about to use the wood as a potty, lol.

Jerry and Mel,
That white flower is a Cape Jessamine (a member of the gardenia family). It has the most heavenly fragrance.

I'm not sure what the red flower is.

That squirrel was the friendliest little critter. He was actually sitting on that pipe while eating.

Here's a few more.

My daddy grew them and there was a bush on each corner of our house. We didn't have air conditioning but an attic fan. The scent wafted through our house for weeks and is burnt into my memory.

You sure know how to hurt a bloke, Delta. It's mid-winter here and night-time temperatures have been plummeting to 10 degrees C which is a hypothermic 50f in the old money.

Yesterday's top of 29 (a mere 85f) meant I had to consider putting a shirt on to avoid the dreaded wind-chill factor then adjust the beer fridge so as not to get an Arctic freeze.

Backyard shots:

This little guy is completely intrepid - he will hover a few inches above my arm and talk to me. I'm betting that I'll have him landing on me soon.

Our lack of rainfall is making some critters (who never get close) come in looking for water.

Mel, your gazebo looks wonderful. Are you going to put netting around it for the bugs? Makes me want to come up there and sit in it and have an ice tea wuith youse.

Mark, how in hell did you EVER get that hummingbird pic????? When they come to my house they are so quick no camera in the world could capture them.

Keep the summer pics coming folks. Those with no talent...are loving them.

It would be lovely to have you come drink some iced tea (or whatever you want) with me! Marc- that's a stunning turkey!
