An inch and a half of rain fell last night. Lots of lightning lit up the sky. Once I fell asleep, not a sound of thunder reached me.
Placed another of my eBay book finds for $3.88 postage free, the sayings of Confucius. We've all heard the "Confucius Says." Born 551 B.C. in Qufu, China. Confucianism is an ethic governing human relationships, and its central purpose is to know how to behave in relation to others.
Found four ears of sweet corn by our door. Another Venny Share. This year's sweet corn is delicious, and we're making sure we eat it during peak season.
Got a text photo from Debbie showing a butterfly in her yard.....
We see so few butterflies, just like we see so few small animals when we go for our country trolleys. No gophers running across the road, no bunnies, no squirrels, no chipmunks, no nothing. Lots of times we return home not having seen one small creature out and about in their world. To see a pheasant is an event that gets a yelp out of me. Can remember when we'd see fox running across a field, but no more. Pretty sure the number of coyotes and eagles are part of the unbalance.
Sprinkling rain now. Perfect Sunday to cozy indoors.
Till the morrow.........
We went for a ride today to a lovely little town about an hour and a half southwest. Outside town was a Wild Animal Safari, where one could drive for about 45 minutes among ostriches, camels, water buffalo, alpaca, deer, various antelopes, a tiger 3 rhinos 5 zebras, including a wee one, all roaming freely.
ReplyDeleteLater we stopped by a nice little Italian restaurant and even later, on a different route home brought us by a place called Suzy's where we enjoyed sundaes in 90+ weather but inside our SUV with air conditioning. A nice day.
Hurray for your day! Sounds great to be among the exotic animals roaming freely. Italian restaurant? Yowza, the best. Very stuffy temps here, too.
