Yesterday !

 

Yesterday was a nice  day . The temps were cool all though the sun still has quite a bit of heat to it but the breezes were lovely . The nights have cooled down as has the mornings all fresh and cool to wake up to !

Papa worked in his wood shop  refinishing  one of the end tables we got from his mom & dad . It looks wonderful photos of that will be posted later ! Then he cut the grass .

I had a small turkey loaf going in the slow cooker for supper  which was Yummy by the way hehe ! and whilst that was cooking I was playing around with my camera taking photos !

My home made wasp catcher !  I put sugar water in it , poked holes from the out side and have it hanging by the nectar feeders and it works , it keeps them off my feeders so the birds don't have to fight them to get their nectar . They just hoard all in it and sadly to say don't make it out , these wasps are nasty they will attach the birds let a alone people !

Star Gazing !

 

Last night Papa set up his Sky shed to view the night sky’s as it was a cool and clear night !

August , September and October are the best times here to star and planet gaze !

            This is what the sky shed looks like when he is in it searching for stars and planets !

He uses a red light in it so that he doesn’t get blinded as it affects your sight with regular light ! It takes to much time for your eyes to adjust from regular light to darkness to view the night sky's ! All Astronomer's use this red light !

Papa was taking  photos of the night sky’s last night , his camera is attached to my telescope which is mounted on the top of his telescope . My telescope acts as a huge lens for him to take nice photos of the stars and planets ! I will post them later !

We had our cup of  tea on the porch and then Papa went off to view the night sky’s as Miggy and  I just  sat   on the porch with the citronella candles going as there were some skitters buzzing around and enjoying the  sounds of crickets chirping !

The air was cool and slowing getting damp but it was lovely to sit out on the porch listening to the night creatures  !

                       Until next time hope you all have a great day !
