Well, at least for this heron:

Where he is walking, the water level would normally be about 1/3rd the way up his neck. Even with his “eagle-eye” he would have a bit of trouble spotting potential meals. With the 2011 drought in full throttle, many new fishing spots have opened for this heron and he has been staying on the lake nearly 24/7 – unusual.

Fortunately there are deep channels at the far end of the lake and the fountain is (hopefully) providing enough aeration to keep the fish from dying. But we could really use some rain…about 10″ or so…just to catch up.

And for anyone who has ever lost a faithful friend…

August can seem a very long month, and not just because of its 31 days! It is also two to three months into warm weather season – which for most has been hotter than normal this year and on some days, it’s very uncomfortable to move about for almost anything.

Time for a little treat or two you can order online and have show up at your door. What a way to end another long, hot day than to find a package waiting for you when you get home? Not something you needed, but something you just wanted and probably deserved. Each item less than $10 – now that’s a treat!
