Well, Oliver's family's in a bind. Mom the Ditz went to the hospital in very serious condition. No idea if it's COVID-19 or not. Although they did receive and read the PayPal invoice, I highly doubt they'll have the funds to repay even a portion. They may also be having issues, as they have unfriended each other on Facebook....
Meanwhile, we've solved a big mystery. Couldn't figure out why the hummingbird feeder got drained each and every night. WLToo put up a game camera, and we immediately found the culprit:
Now we move the feeder indoors after dark, and put it back out first thing in the morning.
Czarny is back to normal. He does require a human to assist his nightly zooming now, so we get a bit of late night exercise just before we all crash. He's figured out the north door out to the deck is the safest route outside, as the barn swallows who are still feeding babies are on the south porch.
The north porch and deck are not totally safe, however. He spent most of yesterday inside, after watching a roadrunner on the deck railing, being bombarded by barn swallows. The roadrunner took it for a long time, then finally left. Czarny decided being inside was the better idea.
After no measurable rain since May, we finally got just enough today to settle the dust for a few hours. The temps also dropped into the 80s, but with Hurricane Hanna's humidity, it's not feeling much cooler than normal. We're not going to get much in the way of Hanna rain, but every little bit will help.
We'll be grilling pork tenderloin tomorrow, for the weekly gathering. No idea what else we're serving yet, so I should probably go rummage through the pantry. Later, y'all.
