Wow, I'm just now getting here. Surprised so many are busy with other things. I went to church then had to cook when I got back. Still haven't cleaned up my dishes. Spent a little bit of time outside taking care of a couple of things. Too hot to stay out long.
Poirot, seems like you had a lot packed into the morning. Glad you've had a chance to sit down with the paper. Also, maybe nice you don't have people coming and going on Sunday.
Kat, this is one time our weather is very different. Hot and dry here. Yea! No need for you to water flowers for a while! Those finches sure do stay busy! My son's family gave me a rather delicate ceramic bird house for some occasion a couple of years ago. I got Mr. Fixit to hang it from the ceiling of the porch to the guest house, in hopes it would be protected there and not get broken. I didn't expect anything to build a nest in it. But a day or two ago I noticed some twigs sticking out of the hole so I guess something did, at some point. I need to get a ladder and take a look inside. I've never seen any activity but I don't spend any time out there either.
I found a dead Yellow-Billed Cuckoo bird under one of my windows this morning. I have had other kinds of birds hit the windows at times but I don't know what it is about this particular kind of bird. I think they are kinda reclusive so I never see them but there must be a good many around because about once or twice a year one flies into one of my windows and dies as a result. Sad.
I don't know what the temperature is for sure. The two places I look online, for two towns that are about 25 miles away from here, say it's in the 90s*. But the two thermometers I have hanging on my back porch (which is under shade) have said 106*-108* this afternoon. The National Weather site I look at had predicted 102* for a high. So I guess I can pick whatever I like.
Wondering about Robin.
