The American Natural Philosopher

It has been a month since I last posted and that is mostly because the desire to post things online, even in this personal blog comes and goes much like the wind.

A fairly uneventful day after yesterday’s deluge which supposedly dropped 2.9 inches of rain which I find a bit hard to believe as my backyard near the plant bed has normally been like a large puddle when we get rain, but not this time even after 2.9″.

After most of the day being fairly nice, the severe thunderstorms have started.

Another beautiful day where I was greeted in the morning by two rabbits playing and hopping over each other and then two squirrels playing and rolling around on the ground but in my garden.

The beautiful days keep lining up and today is bound to be another one as we enter the last part of July.

It is nice when nature decides to treat us with multiple great weather and days especially toward the end of July.

After some thunderstorms and heavy rain overnight the backyard nature preserve is fairly tranquil.

It is always interesting watching the woodpecker at the seed cake or the inverted suet feeder.

I didn’t have much time for observation, but the wind brought in a lot of smoke from the Canadian Wildfires and air quality not that good.

The birds were less active and mostly trying to survive the oppressive heat.
