Summer Love: The Birds & The Bees & The Flowers...

Even though Labor Day usually marks the end of Summer, it is still Summer here at 2805.
Though very hot, it's nice compared to last year.
The flowers have thrived.





The hibiscus bloomed daily



The ferns survived




It's been a somewhat pleasant Summer, as Summers go, as long as you are in the shade 


Or around the table


With the wind chimes, chiming,


The sound of water in the fountain,




The happy sound of children (my sister's grand babies) laughing and splashing in the pool









Then there are the cute critters:
Frogs,



 The birds


 And the bees,



The elusive butterfly.  I can never catch the big ones!


 Squirrels 


And of course, the geckos, who sometime come indoors.





 They play and they multiply. (Beware of National Geographic type picture!)



Ah, Summer love.

...Until next time, Honey
