So Now What ?

 

The Labour day weekend is almost over  and so is the summer holidays for most as we all get back to a routine  with the kiddies going  back to school on Tuesday . I cant believe how fast the summer has gone by !

It has been so humid outside this past week that we have spent most of it in doors and I am going nuts , I am an outdoors person a walker/hiker a nature photographer and watcher  I love to be out there with it all  but I cant take the humidity  and all the birds and critters are hiding in the shade from the  heat and humidity  as well poor things  and seems nature  is taking a break as well  it is soo quiet here ,  so now what ? I ask my self  lol !.  I am not a crafter so don't keep busy by doing any of that , also cant sit still  in doors for long  so I am up and down like a fiddlers elbow all day  but I have been playing about on Pic Monkey creating my own  ideas and images here and there  .  The gardens are in between dyeing off and still blooming  but it is to early to pull or cut any of it down  , leaves are falling to the ground but not enough  to rake up , rains have not come so sprinklers have been put on  , not much to photograph as I think I have already covered every nook and cranny of nature in this valley and yard  except for the  deer and fox who are both very skittish  and out during the night or the very least  early dusk . I haven’t had the get up and go I usually have  cause I think it it got up and left , so I haven’t had anything to post about  . I am in a rut , a blogging rut , a I don't feel that good rut as with humidity and the possibility of rain  that passes us over so far  comes air pressure changes and that causes headaches for me . Now I know  some times this happens and we all frantically search for something to post about well I do any ways lol which is strange cause I am posting about something here now aren't I ? lol  Silly isn't it ? really when you think about it !

                                                           Yesterdays sun rise  over the valley was pretty !

The farms here are all starting their harvest as tractors and combines travel on the roads  to and from .

                                 I love this painting of the pioneer couple with their dog and horses in the fields !

Any who , I will get my blogging mojo back soon I hope as the temps are to cool off by Thursday so hopefully I will be out and about and so will everything else lol !

                                                                              Until next time .

WOW ! Humid & Sticky

 

Each day it seems to be getting more and more humid . It has been very  foggy in the mornings as the air cools a bit over night then heats up fast as day breaks  but makes for interesting sunrises and sun sets  as the sun try's to shine through the steamy muggy air .

                                                                Yesterday’s sun set !

   Miggs and I have been able to get out in the mornings but come 11am  we are in for the rest of the day in the cool it is way to humid out there  .

So  , September already eh?  This summer has gone by soo fast  . Long weekend coming up for us here as Monday is Labour day and all are off, then  come Tuesday all are back to work and the kids are back to school  . I remember the first day back to school after the summer vacation , all the kids excited to see what teacher they have who is in their class and my favourite the ride to and from on the bus . We have the bus pass us every morning here and every late afternoon , brings back memories every time I see it and hear the kids on it when the windows are open .

                The gardens are slowly coming to an end as some flowers die off and others are still thriving .

         But this humidity is brutal for them and for us , funny thing is humidity is moister is it not?  and one would think they would be hydrated enough with all the humidity we are having but the sun takes care of that by drying it all up as it all rises to the sky  , so I have to water them every other evening .

Miggs stays in the shade on the patios where it is cooler in the mornings and watches the yard . We have a lot of feral cats about the yard and valley still have done for years  as they try to peg off the birdies at the feeders but Miggs chases them off . I feel sorry for the cats but they are being fed by neighbours so they aren’t going hungry  , there must be at least 9 generations of them out there  and our Harley is one of them and the in laws have two and my sister in law has two as well .

Well that’s about it for me , things are pretty quiet here as the heat and humidity continues and being out there just wipes me out  , at least the birdies have their shaded water fountain  to drink and cool off in  and food to snack on and hedges to  take cover from the sun as well as the hummers have plenty of shaded sugar water in their feeders  and we can stay nice and  cool inside ,  so all is good   here at Woods Country Cove .

                                                                                   Until next time .
