Now that it is August, the first sun illuminates the tree tops across the pond from the East at 6:30am, hits the "Breakfast Nook" at pondside about 8am and then starts deminishing behind the tall trees to the West around the yard about 3:30pm ... the Hummers (? 4) are constantly drinking at the nector feeder preparing for their Fall migration, the apple tree has lots of apples this year (no peaches this year) ... the various bees are flitting from flower to beautiful flower around the yard, the girls are enjoying their Blackberry/Black Respberry grazing, the tomatoes, cukes, bush & pole beans are starting and firewood stacking has begun!
