Wildflowers

A walk through the woods gave me a few surprise wildflowers. The summer heat has produced blooms everywhere as well as an little rabbits running around. All of the colors were so bright. I am not sure what most of these are, but they are everywhere.  I ended the walk with a little bit of a shock.  I found something in the bird house that was a little odd.  The birdhouse is on a pole around 15 feet tall.  It was full of babies last month.  Now it is full of something a little different. A snake had climbed all the way up, made a little home and waited a few days until it was time to shed his skin.  We never saw the snake.  He has been hiding around in the same area for weeks only leaving a little evidence of his presence. 

The hot weather is making all of the plants happy.  My little monster is not in the best of moods.  He has been fighting an earache for the past few days.  To top it off the Dr. said said not swimming for seven days.  So I reluctantly put up the sprinkler for use later on in the summer.  We loaded up on movies and things to bake for the next week.  early in the mornings or late in the afternoon we will go out to water our plants and watch the birds.  So far, he has been as happy as a little guy with an earache can be.  It is slowly getting better for him.  Hopefully it will be gone n time for our trip next week.  Of course it is to a lake.  Not just any lake. A lake without cell receptions or wifi for miles. Completely off. My little monster will not care as long as their is water and okra he will be happy.
