Last Day of Summer — Backyard Nature in New Jersey.
Even though the rain has stopped, the sky remains overcast. I have used more electricity than my solar panels have generated so far this month. Yesterday, the Sheep Shearer caught up with me for my annual hair reduction. My neighbor’s cat that normally runs away when it sees me, came up to me and allowed me to take her picture. So the cat noticed…
There were a pair of garter snakes mating in a tree in my neighbor’s backyard. The female is the larger of the two snakes. He said they have be up there for at least a day.
With all the rain we have had in the last few weeks, mushrooms are popping up all over the place. I’ll have to let the house trolls go out hunting tomorrow.
