Thank you Mother Nature
For your nectar from the sky’s !
We needed rain for sure as the day’s have been hot , humid and sunny and we all know water from the hose is good for our gardens and all but just not a s good as mother natures rains .
Miggs and I were woken up by a big crack of thunder earlier this morning so we decided to get up as she was practically on me like an extra blanket by then anyways lol She doesn’t like thunder .
It is still humid with a bit of a cool breeze and over the river through the valley forest it is misty . so I got my cup of tea and my camera and we headed out to the back patio porch . As I sat there sipping my tea with my camera ready just in case , listening to the wonderful birds and rain coming down Miggs was wondering patrolling the yard loving the cool rain on her back.
I was looking around for photos to take and I found some !
I love taking photos of rain drops !
I can hear my gardens singing with joy as every rain drop hits !
Everything seems to perk up and look soo fresh ! Like having the best shower you have ever had !
I didn’t stray far from the porches front and back as it was pouring . !
And neither did Miggs as she is just under the porch enough were she wont get to wet and can still keep an eye on the yard !
Oh beautiful rain how our gardens love you !
and me to for photo’s hehe !
Until next time , hope you have a good day !

Around Our Cove
Hi everyone , hope you are having a good day so far and had a good weekend .
Today’s weather is lovey here as the humidity has finally gone for the day , sun shining and the winds are quite cool .
During the day yesterday Papa and I puttered and we all know how lucky I am from my last post of my Sunday Surprise Papa made for me , I have them in my kitchen window !
I sat outside on the porch and watched the birdies and critters and decided to take photos , well what’s new with that as you all know I am a snap happy nut lol and I was happy to get some good shots .
This is one of the Red Breasted Grosbeaks that visit our yard ! They are so pretty and have a wonderful song !
Then there is our Wren Molly , her babies were peeping loudly as they heard her there with a beak full of food for them .
As Mrs Molly gets the food Mr Molly here keeps and eye on the nest and area and lets you know all about that as he does his warning chirping if anyone or thing gets to close !
I left the Wrens alone as Mr Molly was getting frantic and decided to have a look around to see what else I could photograph , then I saw this guy a Red Tailed Hawk soaring over yonder in the current of the winds !
It was amazing to watch him as he stopped in mid air and hovered to get a birds eye view hehe of the field ! Then he would drop his wind just a tad and down he would swoop with the current again .
Then came the evening as Papa and I were out there getting eaten alive by skitters taking photos of the full moon and it was humid and clouds were forming but us crazy devoted photographers will risk just about anything to get that shot ! Snap happy nuts , I say lol !
So that was our Sunday a typical day at Our Country Cove !
Until next time . Have a good day !

A Sunday Surprise !
Papa was busy in his wood shop doing what , I had no idea , all I knew was I wasn’t to enter unless I knocked , ok I thought what’s he up to !
This is what he was up to !
He surprised me with these cute weather vanes that he made . How cute are they ?
Awesome job Papa , I love them !
Speaking about the weather , it has been sunny humid and muggy here but there is a cool breeze so that makes it bearable ! We were to get rain and thunderstorms but no go for us as it keeps going around us .
Until next time . Have a good day !

Sunset
I was out watering my front gardens yesterday evening . The front faces the east . Whilst I was doing that Papa was out in the back yard and he was taking photos of the first day of summer sunset . This is the photo he liked the best . Papa doesn’t get much of a chance to do his photography but when he does they are always awesome !
Nice photo Papa .
Today the weather is sunny & warm with cool breezes and the sky is hazy . Rain for this afternoon and evening . This morning I got up early filled my birdie feeders had my tea on the back patio and enjoyed the early morning then Papa got up had his tea and started the trimming of the trees as they have grown so much and some branches were almost touching the ground .
It’s going to be a day of puttering for us today !
What are or have you been up to today ?
Until next time , have a good day & Thanks for popping by !

I Finally Did It !
I was sitting on the front porch early this morning in my jammies wrapped in my blanket as it was chilly enjoying my cup of tea with my camera in hand and my buddy Miggs by my side whilst the sun was rising . I have two Hummer feeders in the front as this year I noticed the Hummers were occupying the big tree at the end of the driveway that reaches over part of the front porch !
The little hummer was playing with me for a bit but I finally got photos of him and stopped his wings in flight WOOHOO ! It has taken me a long time to get the right setting on my camera and time it all perfectly ! My settings were ISO 400 Fstop 4.5 Shutter speed 1/2000 of a second !
I love these little guys , they are playful when one has a camera on them !
Then he decided to take a little break on the tiny hanger of his feeder and let me take more photos of him !
Tomorrow is the first day of !
Summer
and I am loving the beautiful weather and all the nature that goes with it !
Until next time have a great day & Thanks for popping by !

Playing In The Sprinkler !
Earlier today Miggs had fun playing in the sprinkler and I had fun taking photos of her all wet and quite scruffy looking !
I set the sprinkler up under our big oak tree so she can play in the shade !
Miggs cant to this day figure out whether she wasn’t to lick the water or bite at it lol !
She was having a blast and getting cooled off at the same time !
Miggs took a bit of a break or may have been feeling a little water logged lol and tried to dry off a bit !
It didn’t take her long to get back in the sprinkler again though once she realized it was still going !
Then Mama turned it off as she was looking a bit cold and kept leaving it !
Hey Mama turn it back on I want to play with the water again or I can just lick what’s left on it !
Oh well it was fun while it lasted maybe tomorrow Mama will let me play again in the sprinkler !
Oh those lovely sunny warm day’s !
Until next time . Have a fun day & Thanks for popping by !

Basking In The Sun
Miggs and I got up at 6:30 am and got our morning going . We went for our long walk this morning as it was nice and sunny with cool breezes .
When we got back and Miggs was resting I came in to get myself a coffee and saw Harley basking in the morning sun as the breeze was blowing on her from the window . So I quietly got my camera .
She noticed me there and stayed there for some time and actually let me take photos of her as Harley really doesn’t like her photo taken cause most of the time she takes off but I guess she was enjoying the sun and the breeze to much .
She put a little show on for me as she rolly polled for a bit !
Then she rolled right over and fell asleep with a content look on her face as she soaked up the sun with the cool breeze blowing on her . Nap Nap Kitty !
Until next time , Have a good day and Thanks for popping by !
