Slow Thursday

Today is starting out to be a slow, relaxing day.  We had some rain last night which has lowered our temperature to the mid 60's (F) -- a pleasant relief from the triple digits of the recent past.  As I ventured out into the garden to enjoy the respite from the heat I captured a few snaps to share.

The garden looking pretty good -- thanks Hubs!

The birds are enjoying multiple bathing opportunities -- also still have to plant ot the pots

Have a wonderful Thursday!

WOW! You have cooled off!
I think your rain has made it here...it's pouring, with no let up forecast all day,with severe thunderstorm warnings to spice things up a bit.
We're going from 40C (including humidex) to 15C overnight.
