heat dome

too hot for

bugs

birds

kittens

puppies

flowers

grasses

weeds

peeps

...

find some shade

everyone

on the fence

the seventh robin

time out for a little

serenade

singing

the robins have a lot to tell us

today

little friday look around

indoor:

cat toys

more cat toys

balls

wands

nip sachets

fallen hibiscus leaves

buds

chewed leaves and buds

/

outdoor:

marigolds

geraniums

violas

gifted tomato seedlings

and in the bird feeder gazebo: squirrelly business

...

overcast

windy

hanging in

...

a little while longer 

hazy

annuals awaiting planting

watered but wilting

a bit of respite with breeze

still steamy

six months from now

with a potential 60 degree swing the other way

we'll bundle up and recall the sultry

lilac air

on a day too hot

even for birds

even for bees
