"I'm ready for my close up."

This Eastern Blue Jay posed so handsomely for me. There are many Blue Jay fledglings in the garden, at the feeders this week, all noisy, naughty and hungry. They are able to feed themselves now although rather clumsily.

For the Record,
This day came in very hot and humid, what else is new these days, each day is hotter tan the previous it seems. The grass crunches and some trees are dropping leaves. It's certainly not the New England summer weather of my childhood.

My poison Ivy is persisting. It is improving, the blisters are drying up, but still nasty looking and itchy in the evening. One of the worst patches is on my wrist right under where I was wearing my Apple Watch, It's the size and shape of the watch. I had on my short gardening gloves...

All hands wary
