July has started with lots of rainwater outside (going on 4 days now) and not a drop of water indoors for 2 days (prepared with saved gallons of water for power outages and they filled the bill) - new well pump needed for 2005 Well and human shower never felt so good! Mama birds are busy at the suet feeders as fledglings are brought to the feelers outside the kitchen window and are they vocal! Our wild rabbit has a friend (Oh Oh) and they are out early grazing clover while Golden girls are still asleep! Hummingbirds are also busy at the Nectar feeder and a Spectacular sighting was multiple Hummers feeding at once!

We're heading into the last week of July and what a RAINY month it has been (rain gage couldn't hold it all) - the past weekend was non-stop downpours that filled the boats, gully-washed the driveway, roared over the dam, washing out part of it and saturated ground, brought water into the basement - throw rugs are dripping outside and dehumidifier is running non-stop - luckily a lot of basement stuff has been up on wood boards since a pipe burst many years back!!!
 |
| Accumulated downpours rushing over dam and breeching a section! |
 |
| Bright spot in this month - Mya and beautiful Daylilies! |
 |
| More bailing of boat fleet! |
 |
| Basement soaked throw rugs drying from week of downpours seeping thru foundation! |
 |
| Towing dead trees to dam to fill in "breach" and the Beaver is hauling branches too! |
 |
| Filling/grading downpour gullies in driveway 😲 |
Took the camera out, while the Golden Girls slept and captured these great photos of Hummingbird feeding at wildflower "Touch-Me-Not" 💖
 |
| When the Peddle-boat has gallons of heavy water that have seeped under floor during a week of torrential downpours - required pulling boat upon shore with tractor, pulling plug and gradually raising it to drain with crowbar and blocks! |
 |
| Whew, hours later, drained and "Muscle Sore"! |
 |
| May be a Bit Bias 💖 (as seen on FB) |
 |
| Done & Done ... driveway Professionally fixed! (Golden Retriever Approved!) |
