This past week we have had a little rain. half an inch in the rain guage. It seems to just split and go around us. We did have a good spring for wildflower's and most of our bird species went two nesting rounds.

Then one bat hits the screen in front of me where there is a hole that I have been meaning to repair. Yes, it was just big enough for her to fall through! Then splat, yes splat was the sound she made when she hit the deck. She laid there for a minute looking at me... me looking at her and my dash to close the door because I'm not sharing the cabin with a bat. Like them, don't want to live with them. So, Stella Luna, I call her ( my nieces loved this story about a bat named Stella Luna, when they were young and we would read it at bedtime every time I was there) starts to fly around looking for a way out. I opened the door and one of her buddies flies in. So now I have 2 bats that want to move in. I get a flat cardboard box and like a shield hold it up and herd them to the door. They finally...
The water balance in this planet has been different lately. Some have more than what they want, others less; but at the end stilla have the same ammount of water in the globe.
