Good Morning! At 6:45 AM it was sunny, humid and 75. Today’s high is going up to 97. We’re under a Heat Advisory from 11 AM to 8 PM (heat index up to 104) 🥵 After breakfast I plan to leave ASAP to get my grocery shopping done so I can hopefully be home before the heat advisory begins. Yesterday late afternoon I got this beautiful visitor – Eastern Tiger Swallowtail – to our butterfly bush that I had deadheaded earlier in the day. I took at half a dozen photos before I wound up with a decent one. NOTE:… Read more »
Hi Kathy.
What a great shot you have done there,😘
Thank you 😊
It’s beautiful enough to show twice.
Good morning Kathy
Thank you so much, Ardy 🥰
Morning! I meant to post here when chat came back but, I didnt make it yesterday. I walked and polished my toe nails. It is triple digits now and mid afternoon the house gets pretty uncomfortable. We are holding off as long as we can before turning the AC on. Itt is 4:15 am and 81°……I have a fan going. When I let Nikki out this morning there was something sitting there. It was a young/baby Colorado toad I believe and I know they are poisonous to dogs, probably cats too. As I took its picture Nikki saw it so… Read more »
Hi Ardy
So sorry it’s uncomfortable with your triple digit temps 🥵
I’m glad you got the poisonous toad shooed away before Nikki tried to get it.
I dont see it now…..I know if your dog is foaming at the mouth you are supposed to rinse it out with the hose water.
Good morning. Beryl, Jenn, Ardyth ,Kathy, Lynn, Pam. Up and running again missed you lot yesterday but I see it was back on line after I had finished for the day.

Happy to see the chat back and hopefully it will be here tomorrow morning.
Have a lovely afternoon and evening friends. 💗
You too, Jenn 💗
Good Afternoon! Around 1:00 PM it’s sunny, humid and 90 (feels like 98) going up to 98 with a real feel over 100 🥵
This morning before it was oppressively hot I deadheaded our butterfly bush. Not much else has been accomplished today.
I don’t see any comments below from today (June 11). I wonder if others posted earlier but now their comments are gone 🤔
Here’s a pic from June 7th of the 4 Bluebird eggs in the nest box I’m following on YouTube 💙
Hi Kathy,
Ardy let me know this morning that we did not have a chat. I got up later than usual so had not tried to come on by that time.
It seems to be back now, thankfully!
Gosh, that is brutally hot with the humidity Kathy. A good idea to get out early morning for any outside work. 💕
Such beautiful blue eggs in the Bluebird nest.💙
Hi Jenn
Thanks for letting me know. I didn’t check in here until this afternoon. Yes, it’s brutally hot and humid. Tomorrow will be similar but this time with a Heat Advisory from 11 AM to 8 PM Friday with the heat index 102 to 105 expected 🥵 I will need to run my errands super early on Friday.
Stay safe Kathy.💜
💜
Gorgeous eggs in a beautiful nest 💗
