We are enjoying a cool down into the 70s. Today's range is 77 and 57. The horses will be in hog heaven if it really drops down into the 50s tonight. Rained yesterday but supposed to be dry until Monday. Mowing will be on the agenda for the next couple of days. Might be too wet still today.

Stepson and family came Monday. The baby is now a toddler that skipped toddling and went straight to running. LOL I told his mom she was going to have to start weightlifting if she wanted to be able to hold him much longer. He was heavy for me to pick up and I have muscles, she's just a tiny thing with sticks for arms.

Nothing planned for the weekend or supper.

Snapped this yesterday, been seeing a lot of them.

I guess I have a flock of birds to go along with the clowder of cats and herd of horses. LOL I think they were trying to entice the one holdout in the latest nest of babies ready to leave. It was having no part of joining the flock. Parent would convince it to come out and perch on the rafter but then it would climb right back in. In the second pic you can see mom (I think) on the rafter behind the nest chirping away at the stubborn one. They are so fun to watch. Lainey isn't thrilled because they swoop at her but she can quit hiding when they leave for the winter.
