Hot and steaming today! This kind of heat just strips all the energy out of one. I feel really bad for people who have to work outside.
The oriole babies are cleaning out the jelly bowl every day now. Here’s one taking a break on a sunflower.

Puppy pictures!! Pyr with Christian,

and getting introduced to the swimming pool,

and a goofy grand-nephew trying on a swimsuit for a hat,

and some newly listed beads,

Pyr all tuckered out, sleeping on Suka’s black monkey toy,

Again, just not right!! We’re going to be hotter today than Albuquerque, New Mexico. Yesterday we topped out at 100° for just a few minutes here, and today they’re forecasting 100° again. Only another month of this... but at least the tomatoes and corn like it as long as I remember to water every day.
Some of the latest photos of Pyr, our new puppy, with Christian, my oldest son, and Suka, our husky,
