New Sunflower Moon



The New Sunflower Moon is tonight, 19th hour, 3rd minute EDT, to be precise.
My sunflower garden is growing tall. I expect blooms in a couple of weeks.
The bird planted sunflowers have been blooming all summer.



People talk about what they do.
I take pictures.
I do birds and butterflies, flora and fauna.
I am outside as much as possible.
I walk. I look at the sky.
I am a moon gazer.


I talk about light and depth of field.
I talk about birds and butterflies.
I talk about clouds, the moon and the stars.
I talk about the weather.



It is so very hot I cannot be outside very long.
I know it is the middle of August, in the Mid-west.
I know every August is hot and humid.
I want to talk about something else.
I want to talk about tomatoes and vacation.
Yet it is the heat I keep referring to.
It is the heat that I am seem to be doing.

Sherry,

We are alike.

Moongazers, dreamers, lovers of beauty.

Today I was outside for 30 minutes and didn't sweat. Oh, no. I didn't feel well. I went back inside and hydrated myself. At 7pm, I was outside again to tend to the birds and the pond. I sweated! I was glad.

It's the heat. I'm dealing with the heat right now.

Sorry I'm late reading blogs.

Hugs,
Mary

Dear Mary,
Kindred spirits you and I! We both are connected to the earth and her critters.
We care.
It is hot and I do not do the heat very well. I am always drinking water. My favorite beverage. I do lime water or lemon. So tasty!!
Never worry about reading posts. Corner is a relaxing spot. Come and hydrate with me!
I am so looking forward to visiting the Northwest. Our daughter says it is in the 60's and cloudy!!
I will miss you while I am on Holiday,
Sherry
