For me, the advent of summer is a precise day. I'm a teacher, and summer begins when my students leave. Pretty classic. I am, sometimes, thought well enough of to receive a parting gift. Here's Maddie investigating this year's most memorable:
Yep. A solar powered dancing flower. Maddie hasn't figured out the solar part. She in interested by the movement, but then sits blocking the sun so it stops moving. She's smart, though. I think she'll get it.
Wait. What?
Enough of this foolishness. My sun calls to me! I shall enjoy it from the back of my couch!
And off she goes. The advent of summer also brings with it another signal delight. The garden. LadyRanger has always led the charge into the backyard, and has always had wonderful results. We've already harvested our first tomato:
We've enjoyed our lovely hydrangea:
Our Rose of Sharon is lighting up nicely, too.
Got to love the garden.
Of course, with such wild beauty (only 50 yards away from an interstate highway) we do have to be on the lookout for dangerous wild animals.
Even if they are not cougars. Take a look. There's a video at the bottom of the story from KVAL in Salem Oregon. Turns out that it might be one of Maddie's relatives scaring the neighbors. Not much of a chance of that here....
Oh, go hang...I'm comfortable...
Have a good week everyone.
