Another blazing scorcher on Hideaway Pond. Mother Nature has heat exhaustion and the Hideaway critters feel her pain. In air this hot and thin, even the butterflies need more runway to become airborne.

Before the thermometer flared this morning, a doe and her new fawn raced through the yard and into the woods across the road. Trying to outrun the heat, I suppose. It’s one of those days when super heated fields send swirling thermals aloft to give soaring raptors a lift. And when the old timers of my Allegheny Mountain youth were inspired to claim that they saw a dog chasing a cat. And they were both walking. Really.

It all matters little to four tiny Carolina wrens. They’re hard at work building nests in the two hanging baskets of tuberous begonias located under the eaves of the porch. Only ten feet away, we have the joy of watching the action and listening to their evening songs.
