Saturday, August Twenty-fifth

Looking east into the sun, the air is full of haze… but, the air blowing from the fan is cool on this weekend morning coffee muses.

What sky I can see is clear and blue.

Hummingbirds are battling it out in the air, like old-fashioned dogfights from wars long ago.

We’ve had some crazy winds this summer. The oak tree on the west side of the house has lost a couple of limbs and the cypress tree lost one. Up the block a sycamore tree split in half. And back on the bayou, a tree dropped a hunger limb across a fence.

Judging by the number of hummingbirds I’m seeing, I’m going to have to start increasing the number of feeders. It won’t be long now before they start massing for migration.

The morning is warming up. Sweat is building on my brow as the sun rises higher. The shade on my end of the porch is sliding my way and getting smaller by the minute. While on the other end, what was sun is now shade and moving towards me.

It’s getting to be time to wander inside before we head out to the Busy Bee for breakfast… later.
