  Thank you Jessica!. Birds don’t visit your backyard? Try installing a feeder. 🙂

    Unfortunately, I’ve moved out and am not able to spend much time out and about in nature. At my parents’ place though, we had a row of bottlebrushes which would bring many birds into our backyard. When I have my own garden one day though, I will definitely install a feeder!

Beautiful birds! I know they must be so grateful to you for providing them with food and water especially when it is so hot. If I send you some of my rain, would you send me some of your heat, please?

A very nice selection, H.J! The goldfinch and male cardinal both look a little hot and sweaty. 🙂 (LOL, I know birds don’t sweat. 🙂 ) It will be cooling down before you know it!
