The oddest thing in the yard lately has been a groundhog. It roams the yard eating the clover & other plants. It's sort of cute in a fat, squirrelish way.
I got a surprise this morning. It was so small & quick, I barely saw it. But for a few seconds a tiny hummingbird flitted near the crepe myrtle in the back. Judging by its size & lack of distinctive color, it was either a small female or juvenile. I used to see a lot of hummers. Last year I only saw a few. The way things are going, this may be my only little hummer of the season. I hope not.
Summer's rolling along. So far it hasn't been too hot. It's stayed very hazy in the mornings. That's not god for waking or seeing.
I need my hummers, dragons, porch cats & other little creatures. I saw a lizard on the back screen. Those lizards & the geckos could be back soon. These little beings give me something to focus on, a distraction. They help me not fixate on the crap going on around us. They let me stay in the moment, the now & somewhat sane.
Well that's it for the 6th of July. Take care.
Cya...
