Today was a red alert weather day. Because the air is not healthy to breathe. The smoke from Canadian wildfires has drifted down into our valley. Here is what we saw.
If the air is so unhealthy for us, I cannot imagine toe poor people in Canada!
It is a dreamy mist, but the beauty is deceptive.
“A silver haze drifts
through the trees, soft as sorrow, strange as magic.”
We are still at the Pollinator Festival. They also have goats to feed. There were a lot of cute goats!
I especially liked the black & white spotted ones.
A few cows came over to see what was going on.
And this little calf.
They are in a very pretty area.
A bee is
a tiny reminder that small things make the world bloom.
A few weeks ago, we visited the Garden Center, as they were having a pollinator festival. We were greeted with this.
“Here, the
world slows down to the pace of petals.”
“Where
plants wait patiently for the right hands to take them home.”
The Yucca have been in bloom! In the draught we had, they are draught tolerant, as they don't need much water. The flowers are edible!
They are dependent on only one pollinator! The Yucca Moth! This is a photo of it I got from the web. It is the same white color as the flowers!

In order, as usual.

like childhood, are viewed with wonder not just because they are beautiful, but
because they are fleeting."

This evening it was not as hot, so we celebrated the 4th. Our family came over in the evening, and this is what I had.
Lots of fresh donuts and munchies.
Plus these carbonated non-alcoholic wines in strawberry and grape.
I thought Jazz's sneakers were so pretty.
Then we set off some fireworks.
“Heat humming, night
blooming.”
