After the suction cups on my window-mounted bird feeder busted off, I found some brick clips online to mount them to the exterior wall, instead.
I suspected squirrels were to blame for breaking the suction cup mounts in the first place, and I hoped that placing the feeder on the brick wall would keep them out going forward.
I should have known better.
I guess squirrels have to eat, too…
Connor’s BFF came over to play this morning. They are both having such an awesome time. It’s fun to watch.
Blooms always seem to be scarce in the heat of mid-July — especially when deer have eaten the lilies. I think some deer-resistant, drought-loving native plants are in my future.
As always, many thanks to Carol of May Dreams Gardens for hosting Bloom Day on the 15th of every month!
When I dropped Connor off at camp this morning, he requested that I bring Tails to work with me. Of course, I was concerned that Tails wasn’t masked, but Connor seemed to think that was fine.
We certainly can’t have Tails setting a bad example, though….
Work has me burned out, the weather’s been miserably hot, and I’m not looking forward to returning to the office as much as I’d expected.
Add to that the general stress of the global pandemic, getting used to the “new normal,” wrestling with wanting to stay home and safe but also venture out and do the few things I and my family enjoy, and trying to explain to my son why he’ll need to wear a mask at science camp and at school…
At this moment, I’m content to be relaxing in my sunroom, listening to the rain, feeling the breeze, drinking a cider, and watching darkness fall.
Just breathing.
