Fun with JSB!

A Facebook friend recently shared a video she found on youtube. It's so much fun, I just have to pass it along!



This is for real!

Cat Nap on a Summer Evening

It's been pouring rain for two days straight, with a few rumbles of thunder every now and then. The windows stayed closed to keep the sheets of rain our of the house, and many of the bushes and flowers were bent almost to the ground under the weight of all the water. The temperatures dropped back to early spring highs of low 60s, and it felt like we might get cheated out of our first day of summer.

Then early this afternoon the clouds began to part and the sun has eventually broken through. It's 75 degrees and Chico and Maya are ecstatic to have the windows open again. Here, Chico is napping in his favorite window seat while Maya takes a break from bird watching. We're all enjoying the first evening of summer here in Rochester.

Garden, Week 6

It's nearly summer in Rochester!

We're now about a month and a half into gardening season here on Brittany Circle, and signs of life are starting to appear.

The first tiny tomato has sprouted, and the poblano pepper plants are flowering profusely.

So far the organic "stink bombs" are still keeping the bunnies and the deer away. Can salsa-making season be very far away?
