Blooms, but not many birds

It's been brought to my attention that I haven't blogged in well over two weeks. For anyone that's concerned because of that, all is well here. Weather has been great; cooler and occasional light showers. Nothing interesting going on, just same nesting species and plenty of things blooming. Oasis looks lovely!

Any day now migrant hummers will start showing up and before I know it fall migration will be in full swing.


I can't complain about my health. It's good for an 84 year old. At this stage of my life, I'm losing peers, friends, and relatives. Two brothers and one son are dealing with prostate cancer. My ailments are very minor, so I'm grateful for that!

I'm about to be 72. I retired and went back to work. I live and work two jobs in one of busiest corridors in the country between Austin and San Antonio. Your blog offers so much peace and tranquility. I can almost hear that Cactus Wren calling. Reminding me of my childhood when I used to live in the country. Thank you for all you do.
