Backyard, ivy, wood pewee

Day by day, we are recovering. Thankfully. I seem to be coughing about 4 hours into sleep. I use the puffer and get another 4 hours. 

The lawn was getting rather frowsy. I did the back yard with the lawn tractor. We were expecting Tropical Storm Betty, and I thought I'd give it a go. There isn't any effort involved, so my lungs didn't suffer greatly. It was pretty shaggy. 


August is an interesting season. The vine is making its way up the house. Oct. 20, 2021, vs. August, 2024. I think it is a Hydrangea Vine. Vines are not good for bricks and mortar. (It gets into the mortar and erodes it.) Cedar planks? Dunno.



I don't feed the hummingbirds now, since there are lots of flowers in bloom, including wildflowers. Bugloss, brown-eyed Susans, woodland sunflower. I was looking out front at the hanging basket and spotted a doe.




I've been looking in my files, trying to see if I actually had a photo of a Wood Pewee, since Merlin told me we had one. They've nested and babies have fledge. No more lovely songs. This popped up in a sparrow search! (AI, indeed!) May 24, 2019, at 8 a.m.



🔥🚒Out west, people will find out they can get back into their homes in Jasper. About 5000 were evacuated.

🌧 We had rain (61mm/2.5"), but living in a wetland, it drains away from the house. The cities did not fare as well. There was a big effect from the remnants of Hurricane Debby in Ottawa. Montreal, in spots, had over 200mm (7.9"). How can that much rain travel so far?! How can the clouds carry it all?
