Early evening when the sun was going down on Monday, August 17th (yesterday), we had very interesting skis overhead.
Bubbles is still dropping by too. We opened up the curtains one morning and three mourning doves flew off the edge of the birdbath. No photos of them though. I am wondering why the camera didn’t catch that. You can see more clearly one of the copper objects I placed into the water to stop algae from growing. It is a dragonfly.
I finished a jigsaw puzzle and thought it was very nice. Edible mushrooms I suppose? I really would not know and will continue to get mine from the store.
A photo taken the last time we were at the garden, I found the flower along the path near the greenhouse. It is called Mohr’s Rosinweed, native to the Southeastern United States apparently, namely northern Alabama, southern Tennessee and extreme northwest Georgia.
A quiet day but a pleasant one. I had a mad moment and made breakfast for dinner (yesterday this would be and it was a late lunch/early dinner). We had French Toast with a banana and the last of the raspberries. It has been a long time for French Toast and we much enjoyed the change. Later we snacked on a little ham and Campari Tomatoes.
It is a special day today. Our son turns 47.
Happy Birthday Son!
We are going out with him and our dear daughter-in-law for his birthday meal later, after their work day.
Take good care of yourselves
and I wish you all a very happy day.
Oh my gosh, this sky!! Kind of like Jesus is coming back...
ReplyDeleteYour sky photos and the dragonfly with the bird are beautiful. A breakfast like that is a real treat.
ReplyDeleteThat puzzle is lovely—it features porcini and chanterelle mushrooms. I don't forage for them myself, either.
Wishing your son all the best and lots of love on his birthday—have a wonderful celebration!
Hugs, Elke
Happy Birthday to your son and I'm sure he will have a wonderful day, Denise.

ReplyDeleteA beautiful sky capture, Denise, and breakfast for dinner sounds delicious. Birthday wishes to your son. Sometimes, its hard to believe how much children have aged!
ReplyDeleteWhat interesting sky pictures. I have a goldfinch that comes for a drink at my bird bath every now and then. A mourning dove likes to slap its tail feathers into the bath. There is a male cardinal that takes a bath, whenever it visits. Happy birthday to your son.
ReplyDeleteDenise what a gloriously breathtaking sky. wow did your weather folks have any info on what might have attributed to that beauty?
ReplyDeleteHappy 47 to your wonderful son.
Hugs Cecilia
