Florida gets lots of rain in the summer, as moisture laden air from the Atlantic or Gulf meets – often in the center of Florida, and near to us. We’ve seen an inch or two added to the pool but now this week, we’ve had more than three inches and even after Margaret emptied some last night, the water now has reached the rim which I guess is as high as it can go!
Here was yesterday which added a couple of inches:
And now this evening, as high as it can fill!
Impressive!
Actually we have two sofas in the front “formal living room”, and Chloe likes both of them, at various times! She has always preferred to lean rather than just sit! But apparently, she forgot for a while:
At school (many) years ago, we had stick insects – I kept some of my own in a tall plastic jar, feeding them with privet hedge branches and watching them grow, lay eggs (which hatched into tiny versions of their parents); all fascinating stuff but I’m astonished to discover that there’s one of these exotic creatures right here in our garden!
It wasn’t keen on me getting close with the camera, and proved itself alive by moving and turning away a bit, though it didn’t move in the slow wobbling wiggly way that I remember from school days …
Sorry to anyone that’s not keen on insects, but I always found these fascinating when I was young!
