Animals, Scooby, and bring on the rest of summer

Back from CO Springs, a short visit, but very nice. Even managed to be resized and  computer analyzed for new walking shoes. It's been a bunch of years since I've done it, and there's nothing locally that could help me. The good and the bad here...

Mark is back from Detroit as well, so the plan is jeeping, hiking, fishing (Mark), golfing (most likely Mark), camping?, and whatever else comes our way. No company until Labor Day weekend.

The insane hummingbirds mostly left when I took down all the feeders before leaving town. It was definitely out of control- we were going through 4lbs of sugar A DAY. First item on the list when I came back was to put some feeders back up, and within an hour some started coming back. It's a fraction of what was - 15 versus 50.

Update on Scooby aka irobot. The replacement wheels did arrive and lo and behold, it worked! Scooby is back scrubbing the floors with all the gusto it started out with. Crazy. It also means I'm probably going to have to stock up on wheel parts - they start falling apart after two months.At least it's back functioning.

All "our" creatures. We never know what we're going to see...

Lots of rain has greened up everything nicely and more late wildflowers are blooming. We have lots in front of the house. And a month of bloom for the daylilies - a first year success.
