Sweltry, Muggy, & A Stifling-Sizzle

Well...where are all the crazed Republicans that like to preachify: "Global Warming is a fictitious hoax propagated by those bleeding heart liberal hippies" this summer? Man oh man is it hot. I'm surprised anything is blooming this month...but the beauteous Sunflower never lets me down. The finch are starting to stalk the yard; they know a feast is coming. I have some sunflowers already drying up & dropping their seeds! This is the earliest ever for that. Usually they keep their bloom until September. The west side of the backyard is looking very over-grown & rag-tag.I can't bring myself to clear it out as there are 3 nests of bunnies living in it. However, this a.m. I saw a rascally GROUNDHOG waddling into the brush. I'm thinking these creatures are taking advantage of my good nature. When I see a Water Bison charging out of it....I'm going in with my weedwhacker ammo!!
