Hot Summer's Day
Hot one here today on Cape Cod... The temp got up to about 95. Nothing that a little shade and dark rooms couldn't fix. (Though the computer room runs a few degrees above that, so in there it was no doubt nudging 90.) Oh well... The forecasters are predicting that the temp will drop tomorrow back down into the 80s. With a bit of luck, we'll get a good storm to clear out this sticky mess, and that will be the end of Summer. (I heard that! Here on this peninsula, there is no season like Fall. The air is fresh, the red leaves rustle, the sleep is deep and cool... Now we're talking*.)
Anywho, I just set up the NovaBird remote camera in hopes of capturing a crow or two coming in for a late night snack.
Looks like zipoid for luck. (I always worry about setting up the camera for fear of disturbing the birds. Better that you the reader get my usual crud photo than I disturb an animal who's just trying to get a bite before going to sleep.)
Yup... The proof of the pudding is in the eating... Here's a fine picture of old bread sans bird. No doubt that the crows will be all over this when I bring in the camera. I wonder if those creatures can laugh?
And so it goes. Something will get the bread ASAP. And that's fine... I just wish I could have gotten a picture. (Stoopid crows!)
And on that happy note... See you by the feeders,

* Remind me to tell you about the greatest formula for grilled burgers and corn on the cob some time. They're ideal for this time of year, and they're bound to drive your cardiologist into the upper atmosphere. No really, they're that good! (And that's not to mention our 100+ year old recipe for "jag", but modified for mud bugs!)
