I have been filling the birdbath up about four times a day in this extreme heat for the birds and the squirrels. The water that splashes over , the mud dabbers come and drink, and then they take the mud for their nests.
The old Fir tree in the front yard gets soaked twice a day. After I water its branches the Monarches land and drink deeply for minutes at a time. I have seen a blue Dragonfly land and drink off the Fir tree as well.
The birds bathe, and then go eat the seed I have put out. I feel grateful to witness these little acts of life. Though small to some they are so meaningful to me. *Nita*

Thsnk you, Elizabeth, for your fabulous contribution to the Praise project on Salt. It is lovely to have something given by a youngster - PTL!
Gorgeous collage work! Fantastic, a real tribute of praise, thanks to yourfanily for joining in!
Nita,
Thanks for visiting the other day. Like you, I'm running around tending to the birds. They seem to be starving lately - probably due to the dry heat and fewer bugs.
I think I'll need to add another hummingbird feeder as they are slurping away!
Hi Nita,
Like Mary and you, I am keeping water out for the birds and the bugs.
It is a blessing to be able to watch these incredible critters.
You will get a great photo of your Monarch, I just know it!
Blessings to you and yours,
Sherry
Magical!
Amy
