Summer Snuggles

avatar



The mornings have been unseasonally cool. Usually, our resident rock martins perch at the edge of the porch roof. Not the last few mornings: this little snuggle seems to have replaced that ritual.

The days, though, have been mostly really hot and the evenings balmy and which is wreaking havok on the lawns, no matter how often we water. It's a really slow process, and we have another month before the days cool into autumn proper.



Yesterday, we have some respite and comfort food with the current garden bounty was just what the doctor ordered.



Oh, and I am so loving the little blue pots from a dear friend. Just perfect for that side of grated cheese.

Until next time, be well

    We're currently experiencing lovely cool rainy weather, such a relief after the extremely hot weather but we know we'll be back to hot hot days and nights for quite a while still! Really looking forward to autumn! And of course to normality; your friends must really miss your Sunday night dinners!
    Stay well Fiona;)

    I love autumn and it looks like we will be robbed of it again.

    Glad you are having cooler weather, too.

    Stay well 🤗

    Those poor little things would be a brick of frozen feathers here. Getting to the single digits Fahrenheit here tonight and a bitter wind. We lasted 10 minutes out there lol

    It never ceases to amaze me what creatures manage to survive! I am constantly reminded to be grateful that we live in a moderate climate. Those temperatures would kill me.

    Stay warm and well!
