Rain storm came through early this morning, but has stopped now. No plans for today except to try to keep cool due to the high predicted temperatures. Yesterday we were able to play a game outside in the screen tent, but the temperature only got up to 85 degrees.  Had a nice breeze, too. Have been harvesting lots of rhubarb. Use it in smoothies and some cupcakes my husband makes with granola, yogurt, and cream cheese. Strawberries on top. Used air conditioner for a while yesterday afternoon. Only fire was from some wood inside a barrel of a neighbor. The fire department sent a fire engine. Smoked up the whole neighborhood. Still have the numerous chipmunks, but squirrels are coming back into the yard. Smelled a skunk yesterday afternoon but never saw it. A hawk was seen yesterday afternoon so chipmunks beware! Birds include a Baltimore Oriole pair, a possessive Mockingbird that chases all birds away. Have a little suet house that is made especially for woodpeckers and nuthatches, but now the sparrows, blue jays and orioles have been able to fly in and land upside down. The mockingbird prefers the normal suet feeder. Robins, doves, blackbirds, and Grackles are ground feeders. Haven’t seen the Bald Eagles anymore. No water restrictions. Water supply and quality are great. Tourists and motorcyclists had a much better week and weekend than usual due to less rain. Our 14 rainy weekends in a row has been broken.
