Little Hoppy – of one gammy leg fame – stood nice and still on his healthy leg this morning while I took a photo of him. I had run out of fresh meat and had to thaw a batch from the freezer in the microwave, and he was very patient indeed.
Baby Magpie simply looked bewildered. If he could speak, I’m sure he would stamp his claw and demand his breakfast. π
The weather appeared to be threatening rain all day, but when no rain had fallen by this afternoon, I ventured outdoors to pull out a few weeds. All the rain we have been having has encouraged a new crop of weeds in several patches through my garden beds, so I’ve made a start on getting rid of a few. I also dead-headed my flowering plants. This rose bush still has several fresh roses on it, so nothing needed to be removed from this plant. π
I had my iPhone in the garden, so took a photo of the valley from the top of the garden with my phone camera. There’s really nothing going on down in the valley today except heat haze or mist, but as always, I can’t complain when it is not an overly hot day.
We are having rather a mild summer this year! π
Glad the heat has held off for you. Even weeding sounds great to this winter-weary northerner. π

The roses are stunning! (Shades of burgundy and rose – love those colors!) Good for Little Hoppy and his patience. My sympathy to Baby Magpie – life can be so confusing at times! π

It’s so much easier to cope with life during mild weather, don’t you think? Usually during summer, after a few hot and sleepless nights, people become downright grumpy here!
