Happy anniversary!

 Here we are, Aug. 22nd. It is our 22nd anniversary. We talked about going to Kingston for an overnighter, but that isn't going to happen. It is chilly and maybe rainy. I did have a surprise!

 

I spotted a really tiny tree frog on the railing. It has to be this year's baby. Another one. It's good to see.



Wednesday I saw a storm move in, there were pop-up popcorn clouds all day Tuesday. It is an unusual storm, as it came from the north north east. Another cold morning, at 12 ℃. but I haven't had to put the heat on! 


The bumble bees are busy gathering pollen. Our woodland sunflowers are providing ample food.

I love a good storm!

Like the new header. Since bumble bees don't make honey, I still like them, but not as much as honey bees. It's a selfish thing, since I eat honey daily. Loved seeing your beautiful rain.

It was very nice here all day yesterday, but the weather radar showed folks very close to us were getting rain. We had a brief downpour about 2AM so everything is wet this morning.

I have bumble bees at the basil flowers and honey bees on the mint. They each have their favourites.
Happy Anniversary.

A tree frog's life seems to consist of staying in one spot and looking cute. No heat here, but I have turned on my electric blanket once or twice because I have been leaving the window open.
