Summertime...

If you've followed this narrative in sequence, you've
seen pictures of the "circle" that I left in the back yard.
Well, here's what I sometimes use it for in the summer months.
I line it with a plastic tarp and fill it up with water. It's a real
nice place to lie on a hot summer's day! And I especially like to
have a dip before I go to bed -- I lie there looking up at the stars
until the mosquitoes drive me inside. Very refreshing!! |

Great Blue Herons sometimes rest in the white oak tree.
They probably spend the night sometimes as well, but we can't be
sure of this, as they sometimes don't settle on a roosting spot for
the night until it's dark or almost dark. |

A Raccoon snoozing the day away in one of the trees, high above the
ground. He's hard to spot -- look carefully - he's in the center of the photo
to the left of the main trunk, with his head lying on the branch
pointing down towards the lower right). |

There's been a lot of goldfinches
at the feeders this year. In fact, there's been a lot more birds
around this year than any prior year. |

Here's a view of the very back of
the backyard, looking sort of towards the house. The woods area
is to the left. We leave stumps out in the yard here and
there. My original purpose was for places to sit. However, the
squirrel especially like to sit on them and eat sunflower seeds. |

The Cup Plants keep getting taller
every year. This year they are about 6.5 - 7 feet tall! This is
third week of July and they have started to flower. |
