    Outside My Window ~ 8.29.10

    Outside My Window…is a sunshine, blue skies with a few white puffy clouds.  The temperature at 10:45 is 82ºF with about 60% humidity.  It feels pretty warm when you walk outside.  Forecast today is for the upper 80’s with no rain.  That seems to have been the mantra for most of our summer…..no rain.  We have managed to squeeze a few drops here and there to keep things from completely dying….but the ground is quite dusty and could use a few days of water.  But…..be careful what you wish for this time of year because we are heading into the heart of the tropical and hurricane season right now and there…

    Catawba Visitors

    While visiting my parents earlier this month, I was able to take a few photos of some visitors to the house.  I wanted to share them with you today….. Baby blue birds in the house…..my father carefully opened the house so we could see if they had left the nest.  We were pleasantly surprised to see the birds still in residence.  They kept so very still while we were there ~ except the little guy in front did flinch a bit when I took this photo. Of course, there were hummingbirds….. There were butterflies visiting the butterfly bushes….. ….and our friend the Polyphemus Moth….it was brand new…. This little green guy…..each morning…
