It’s Summer at Our House — pat morss

Finally, it feels and looks like summer as we pass the solstice.

House Finches at the front door; their beaks seem to grow the fastest.
Mourning Dove parents at the solar panels, tending to their two squabs.
Feeding both hungry kids at one time. Next morning the nest was empty.
It’s fun watching a professional. Eddy Egret on the lookout, hopping around.
Strike, with perfect timing.
Caught it!
Off to a comfortable rock to dine.
Whale watch season is in full swing; boats retrurning from their afternoon trips.
Joined on the deck by a swarm of feeding dragonflies. Jet contrails above.
BEFORE: Lobster dinner tastes better in the summer.
AFTER: No explanation needed.

Margarita Monday In Manchester

We celebrated Margarita Monday in Bravo by the Sea on Beach St in Manchester last week. Monday is when the Detroit Style Pizza is available so it was a win win.
