Long shadows and easy to see where our sprinklers reach and don't reach in backyard - brown versus green is demarcation line.
Tadpoles hatching - you can see a tail on one - most are still curled up around egg sac getting their nutrition from built in feed source.
Egyptian lily is all I know to call this exotic bloom - heat and winds so strong even as buds open they are blasted brown on the edges.
Last snippet was a supperet - stopped at the farmers market intending to buy local honey (seen in background of picture) but the fragrance of fully ripened local cantaloupes got to me - impulse buy turned into most of supper! It is good - hot hot hot and dry but in the essentials very good on Buhlaland - maybe my brain will support more than snippets soon.

Your snippetage was lovely!
Sweet summertime is a wee bit too hot this year! I love cantaloupe better than most anything! I, too, can make a meal with one. Grandpa used to eat a half with vanilla ice cream in the center!!!
We had a fabulous 'lope this past weekend; so fragrant and flavorful. Tis the season!
Cantaloupe is one of my favorite fruits. Hope you guys get some rain soon. Stay cool. I like the vanilla ice cream idea from Mildred.
Coined a new word, didja!
Cantaloupe looks great - we just polished off our second Black Diamond watermelon. Either one, just hand me a fork and a shaker of salt and I can eat my weight in melon!
Snippetage....I like it!
Sweet Summer blessings!
Snippetage away!!!
Mmmm- the cantaloupe looks yummy, Linda Sue! I like mine with cottage cheese.
Beautiful picture of the Egyptian Lily- amazing bloom!
Hope you get some relief from the heat soon, my dear!
