Weather etc.

Weather bulletin: we've been having significantly cooler weather this week compared to last. However, all next week we're supposed to see highs in the upper 90s F again. The good news is that that kind of heat is only supposed to last until about July 4 and then for the rest of July and the first week of August we'll have highs in the 70s and low 80s.That's what Accuweather's long-range forecast says. I hope it's right.

 
Yesterday morning the neighbors' goats came out to greet me when I walked by the fence that keeps them from wandering around the hamlet. The goats seem to be less and less afraid of Tasha. Meanwhile, the bird in the photo above was keeping an eye on me and my camera.

 
Daisies come up in our back yard every year at this time. They're not invasive but are perennial.

  1. Glad the heat has left you and the future temps look comfortable. I love the bluebird photo. We have some coming to our feeding now.

    1. No, these goats belong to other neighbors, and they are chèvres, not boucs. The attacker was a bouc from across the street.

    You've had plenty of time to get used to living in the 'country' - but it sure looks peaceful and quiet! How relaxing to walk by goats and to 'catch' the bluebird with it's bright colors on your morning walk. Looks like the goats are keeping the grass mowed!
