Water fountain, A/C, critters

What a heat wave we have! This was first thing in the morning, overnight temperatures...

By the afternoon...

Our air conditioner doesn't seem to be able to lower the indoor temperature below 25 C. As I edit this, yesterday's  indoor 'low' was 26 C. I wonder how much a new one costs?!  About $3500. Ah well. This one is over 20 years old, according to the sticker. It doesn't owe us anything. We're getting a new one Monday. We've a slush fund for emergencies. 

I posted about our lilies, Lawn and Flowers. and Wednesday morning, the flowers in the first photo, and more, were nipped in the bud! The third hosta was partly targeted, as well. Oh, my. She's a pretty little deer.

I've ONE left, and I DID bring it indoors! Goofy deer. She has a whole forest.

COVID–19

We're still doing well lowering the COVID–19 cases. I'm happy with the southeastern Ontario results, as the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) had most of our Ontario cases, which are now going down. 

We need testing, information, and contact tracing. This has done us well. The poor US. A couple of days with 50,000 new cases, then, yesterday, 60,000 new cases. 

Their infectious disease expert, Dr. Fauci, rumour has it he's not allowed to appear on TV anymore. He speaks truther, oops, no the White House is full of truthers and liars. He speaks the truth.

Forest Critters

Down in the forest, the fawn was yelling at the camera, or the bugs! We'll call her a she. She's awfully cute, and likes her selfies.

I knew something was at it. This is how the camera usually sits, with a small stick to angle it, to keep it focused on the ground. It was missing when I arrived. I knew something was up. I was quite excited, actually, as I often wonder what goes on in the forest. 

Sure enough... a curious bear. I laughed. 

Walkies

JB went for his regular early morning walkies in town. It's cooler at 6 or 7 a.m., and a lovely walk. My back hurts too much, walking. I've been exercising indoors.

JB spotted some friends. A pair of muskrats, but also a snapping turtle, who chose not to surface for a photo-op. I really like the first one, rather artsy! The texture in the water is wonderful.

This is the fish that got away! A biggie. Honest, he tells me...

And, a hare.
