Sunday we were afforded the opportunity to porch-sit a bit and enjoy the birds. The hummers were quite active along with the goldfinches playing on the sunflowers. We had another unusual visitor with an unfamiliar birdsong, but we couldn't see what it was amongst the leaves. Visitors of the human variety came as well. One was bearing watermelon already cut and chilled. Another came with the prettiest pink coreopsis and a bag of day lilies that she thought we'd enjoy. I don't know when we'll get a chance to plant them with the temperatures in the 100's. Right now I have the coreopsis placed on a garden bench so that I can enjoy it from the porch or from the window. The tiger lily is still blooming like crazy, and the Easter lilies are beginning to bud. As Alexander Pope said, Hope springs eternal.

How I love to porch sit! I've been having fun watching the goldfinches on my sunflowers too. The male is such a bright yellow it's hard to see him against the flowers! |

Easter lilies blooming in July!!! They actually bloom around Easter, here.(ha-ha!) Porch sitting is fun, except when it's 100 Degrees!!! |

Well maybe only 90 degrees if you are in the shade on the porch with a fan blowing. So glad you had a time of quiet together. Linda B |
