Hot and Dry
Tomorrow the heat wave is supposed to break. We are expecting rain. If the forecast does not change again. That will be a welcome start to a new month. But, with constant watering, the flowers are happy in the blazing sunshine.
Our new/old bell tower
The European version of a hummingbird. Europe has no hummingbirds. This is an insect, but it has feathery-looking wings, it’s colorful, it can hover, it has a long beak-like proboscis, and it definitely hums. It is also very fast and flitting, so it is very hard to get a picture of it. It is a hawk moth, called Taubenschwänzchen in German, meaning “little pigeon tail.”
It is good to see pollinators active.
