Speaking of storms, last night's missed us entirely. We didn't even get the wind they were predicting. Now let's see if the storms due later this morning will be a hit or miss.
Yesterday, we had a female cardinal go mental on us. She kept flying up and hitting this one window in the sun room. Flap, flap, thump. Flap, flap, flap, land in the tree. Over and over. Then she'd take a break and sing. Who knew female cardinals sing? :shrug: She was still doing it as the sun set. I hope she doesn't come back this morning. It's disconcerting watching her thunk into the windows. I did try scaring her off. As soon as I left the room, she came back. Oh, gads, I just heard her. =oO
The batteries arrived for my camera! I am back in business, baby. So I walked around and took pictures of the flowers in the yard. Here's the iris bed:
In that last pic, you can see my pathetic azaleas. They're mostly dead. =o(
When I got the new battery in my camera, I discovered I had pictures from December and January on it. Here's Half-Rack the Deer from December.
Did I mention how much I missed my camera? I'm so happy it was just a battery problem. It's 8 years old, so I'm seriously surprised the battery lasted that long and that nothing else went kerplooey. I got it and a new computer for my 40th birthday. The computer went wonky first. Nikon makes an awesome camera. Unfortunately, they discontinued this model. I went looking for a replacement camera, just in case it wasn't the battery and I can't find an exact replacement anymore. :sad: Thank goodness I don't need to replace it!
I think that's enough rambling from me this morning. You got anything to ramble about?
I'm jealous of your irises. I still don't have buds. I do have 3 buds on my peony. We'll see if they survive to bloom.
ReplyDeleteHaven't seen my hummer since that first time though the nectar level is down. Hope she comes back.
We got rain and a little wind. All the bad stuff diverted to the south of us so yay. Our morning round is done and it's now headed your way.
I gave up and turned on the AC because humidity and summer temps was totally uncomfortable for fur kids and me.
I have got to get my mind on work. You are aware of my morning spat with KDP. No movement there. Not the way I want to start the day. Grrrr
Okay. I'm done. New words. Later, tater and keep a weather eye out.
Yay for your camera!!! I'm envious of your irises - the wind keeps blowing the flowers off mine.
ReplyDeleteWe had 3.5" of rain today. Hooray!!!!! My trees are dancing with joy. (It's not just the wind. Really!)
