Some Of This & That

Hello . It has been another week or so since I have posted anything here lol I haven't been very busy just relaxing and enjoying the summer .

The weather has been on and off here for about a week , hot and humid then cool then damp then oh year a spot or two of rain but not really enough to water the gardens , thankfully most of my perennial's are drought tolerant thank goodness for that but I have been hand watering my annual's and hanging planters . I have been playing about with my  in camera settings which I haven't done in such a long time . 

                       These flower pics are taken with the flower in camera setting  .

                                                                            So far I am liking using this setting .

Most of our birdies are all done with the nesting so we are getting a lot about the feeders and some are enjoying the natural seed we have in the gardens as some plants are already beginning to seeding .

                                                              Whilst others are still enjoying the no melt suet .

                   The clouds have been glorious over the valley just wish they would rain on us a bit more .

Friday evening I was looking for the full blood moon as the big dark clouds came over us I thought to myself oh darn it I guess I won't see the full blood moon tonight  as the thunder rolled not far from us in the southwest and threatened  the sky's , then I took a chance and looked to the southeast and there it was big bold and beautiful the full blood moon almost to be covered by dark clouds but not before I took a few snaps FEWW ! Gotchya !

The I had to run is as we had fast heavy torrential rain that was all done in about 10min and boy did it get humid after !

                                                             The humidity has been a factor for lots of fungi about .

                          Miggs has been taking it easy in the heat and just having the odd play time  mostly in the evenings .

Poor girl  she try's her best but there are days she just has a limp and a hobble about her as her arthritis acts up , this girl has had both back legs operated on has bad shoulders and is getting lumpy and bumpy now . She is on meds for it all from now on . She will be 9 in a few weeks .  That's right on my goodness August is just around the corner   WOW  how fast this summer is just flying by .

Our August long weekend is this coming weekend and Papa will have the Friday and the Monday off so an extra long weekend for him WOOHOO !
