A welcome cloudy morning

We are known here in The Valley of the Sun, Arizona for just that.....days upon days of sun and heat. Every so often there is a morning with cool air and clouds in the sky.... delightful. Doors can be opened and a light breeze flows into the house. All is well in the garden and the Doves are growing stronger each day. They are left alone a little more often so the parents can get enough food for themselves as well as the two babies.
All sorts of critters are around. Found this little bunny resting outside my bedroom window. He found a bit of shade yesterday afternoon and burrowed in for a time under the Yucca. I noticed him as I sat sewing.
This little one is outside my living room window at this moment...look at that fluffy white tail and big ears! Just outside the kitchen window is the hummer...….getting ready
to enjoy the Red Lips Salvia. The other morning as I sat out on the front porch ready and trying to enjoy my coffee one of them hovered over me and tried to pull at my hair....they are so territorial! The hummer floats outside the kitchen window looking in sometimes and I get caught off guard as I pass by and we startle one another. Having so many critters to entertain me is wonderful.
Evidence of coyotes around but I have not seen them lately.
Went to Jo Ann's, Michaels and Hobby Lobby trying to get some beading supplies and could get nothing I needed...guess I will be browsing on line. So much for buying locally.
Glenda just returned from a vacation and stopped by yesterday with this sweet little tea pot for me. Just enough for that one special cup of tea. Flowers, bugs and butterflies adorn the top and sides. She is so thoughtful.
 Guess a little time outside this morning reading but I think this time it will be out on the lanai. Glad you could visit with me today. Thank you for the kind words and for your friendship.

I was able to catch up with your blog today. My 16 mo old grandson from Kansas was staying with us for a week while his parents went to NYC on an anniversary trip. Then we drove him back to Kansas and just got home today. Whew! I'm tired! Love the teapot Glenda gave you, it is so cute. I saw on the forecast that the warm weather is coming our way, soon to be followed by the hot weather. Guess it's time for me to hibernate until November...
