moth swath

The rain and high-pressure system that had been hanging over for a week or so finally moved off, and I'm glad.  I had two migraines and several days of regular headaches, but the sun seems to have cleared all that up.  Now we have low humidity, very cool nights/mornings and days in the low 80s.  It's really pretty perfect.

Sun!  Blue skies!!  


Everything is so green.

So much wildlife out and about.  We can smell skunk in the morning sometimes, and see them constantly on our trail cams.  Rabbits sightings multiple times daily.



Deer, too.


It's baby season!  Fawns are moving around, carefully following their mothers...


...or sometimes bumbling away from them.  This little guy got lost in my garden and ran around, bleating...



He dashed into the woods, and not long after I saw his mother, nosing around for him.  I'm sure they got reconnected in the shadows.  

I've seen a few interesting moths, too.

Inside, the pets are feeling the "heat," even if it's actually pretty cool.  It's always naptime!




I was lying down quite a bit with all the headaches last week, but I was never there alone.



Never a dull moment around here.    

Hopefully this cool, beautiful weather will continue.  We'll see!  For me, the countdown to fall has already started.  ;)
