Himself moved the bird feeder away from the shed so the furry Wallendas don't have easy access to the seed.
I filled the feeder just before some wicked thunderstorms rolled through. It's amazing how many birds flock to the feeder during bad weather.
A goldfinch shares the feeder with the female cardinal. She's on one of the back perches.
The male cardinal came for his turn at the feeder
A bunny came out for a drink and a nibble.
So didn't the squirrel. None of the wildlife seemed to be bothered by the vivid lightning and booming thunder. And a couple of those lightning strikes were really close. They made Quill and I jump in the sunroom.
After the storm, a magnificent sunset
with amazing
and
vivid colors.

That's an 18 in. ruler next to it.
A couple of volunteers from the Senior center came to help us weed.
The hydrangea isn't as showy as other years. Too much rain? Too much humidity? But it's still pretty.
Birthday month ended and since it's been so tropical, I put out a tropical garden flag.
I'm all set to Welcome the Beach when I leave for Camp Newport tomorrow
How does your garden grow?

No wonder why you were thinking about prissy's zucchini bread. I miss my bird feeders at this time of year, so I'll enjoy yours. If only they weren't such an attractive for bears too. :) Happy Sunday. hugs-Erika
I can make lots of zucchini breads 😺
Have fun at camp!
🌞
Awesome sunset pics! I am sure the sky looked even better in person! Have fun!!
I'm staying ahead of the caterpillars that want to eat my SunFlowers.... barely ... I gave the SunFlowers a drink of water the other day. The first all Summer. I think they look better for it... So many bees and butterflies... the big fuzzy yellow and black bumble bees... The little birds are now swooping in to get some seeds... Its always great fun to have my patch of SunFlowers every year.. Even hubby begrudgingly enjoys all the 'life' my 'weeds' bring to the yard.. :) Enjoy your beach day! Hugs! deb
I lost my recipe for zucchini bread. Do you have one you'd like to share?
Your gardens look great. And you have yellow birds coming to your feeder! I hope you were okay with yesterday's storms. I think there was a tornado in Northeast CT. - Anne (Cornucopia)
Prissy's Zucchini Bread Recipe The tweaks I made this time around. I substituted brown sugar for half the regular sugar. I also substituted melted and cooled butter for half the oil. Prissy would sometimes add chocolate chips, too.
The sky was amazing. I just couldn't capture the light with the phone camera
You paint a beautiful picture of your garden
The yellow birds are Goldfinches. There was a tornado on Saturday in Southeastern Massachusetts. And another the other day in New Hampshire. 😱
Your garden looks better than mine. Gosh, I need a volunteer to come help me (grin). I'm finding it harder to do anything outside because of our extreme heat warning that has been in effect for three days and will continue through Wednesday. Even the little princess wouldn't like MY heat.
Enjoy your time away and have fun at the beach while I swelter in this exhaustive heat wave.
The Little Princess had her own episode of heat exhaustion while working with the volunteer in the garden. The heat wouldn't have been bad if not for trying to keep up with a 30-something
We have goldfinches here, but they are extremely rare on the patio as they move through on their journey.
Our hydrangea hasn't bloomed yet and may not given how late in the season it is. It looks healthy, though...
Sorry, I have been MIA Your arden looks great. Have a great tme at the camp! Valerie
My hydrangea blooms late, but not many buds this year
Camp had to be postponed. I hope you feel better soon.
