Sunny and warm today, with temperatures due to reach the high 70s.... nearly 80. I'm sitting here in white Capris again, rather than jeans and two sweaters. Happy day.
Handyman Senior and Junior are outside painting. There may be hope for this handyman-duo after all. The other day when my husband told Senior that he wanted the paint chips cleaned up, Senior took that to heart. Before he left on Saturday, he got out the Shop-Vac from the garage and proceeded to clean up the paint chips on the back porch.
With today's warmer weather, the yellow butterflies are back. I hadn't seen them on those cold days we had last week, and when it rained, even the birds outside were hiding somewhere. Now it's like Spring again and the birds are singing and the butterflies are all over the garden.
The roses have been blooming, as well as the azaleas. We have long-stemmed pink roses in the backyard, and the deer come during the night and eat up all the leaves, but never touch the big pink petals of the roses. Odd, that they'd leave the sweetest part of the plant alone...... but who knows, maybe the leaves are tastier than the roses themselves.
Haven't heard the coyotes since two weeks ago, when they were howling so loudly that they sounded as if they were right in our backyard. I don't know if there are baby deer out in the pastures at night, but I'm hoping they're smart enough to stay close to the adult deer, which would give them a little safety from the coyotes. I think it's still hunting season for deer, and every couple of days we can hear gun-shots off in the woods. Seems like it's always 'season' for some poor animal up here.
