slept out on the deck last night… it was lovely… put three cushions on a lounge chair, two blankets and a pillow… not a single mosquito, woo hoo…

this was what I saw when I woke up…

did a bit of weeding, ate brunch in the garden, washed outdoor furniture and filled all the bird feeders…

spent some time reading and watching the birds flitting around… there was a drinking party and bath time happening too, lol…

after cleaning out much of the water hyacinth I am getting a much better view of the fish as they swim around…

even the chickadee let me get a picture…

I got within arms length of a female Downy Woodpecker… must have stood there for about three minutes chatting to her, while she was trying to get a peanut out of one of the front feeders… lovely…
