Lookin' out my back door...

Well, it's more like my side window, but still....

We have entered a heat wave.  I don't know when it will end.  Happily, it didn't start as early as last year and the Spring was very, very wet.  So, things are still green...for the time being.


 But, several days ago we had to close up the windows and turn on the air conditioner and the fans.  And, it still isn't really "comfortable" in here, but it is enough.

The clowns are subdued.  They sleep a lot.  Their most active time is around 5 am until about 7am, the coolest hours of the day.  Unfortunately, the humans are still trying to sleep!

They eat their breakfast, usually with gusto....and then they fade....and try to find a cool spot....usually a marble window sill, maybe a bed with a breeze from a fan.  

This evening I discovered four of the six in the bedroom window.  I didn't pay much attention at first, as I was in the middle of something...but to see FOUR of them in the window???? What was going on?

Gecko action.  It was gecko action.  There were two of them right outside the window.....(the bars are for the safety of people indoors because there is a sheer drop outside).  

I took a little nap just a day or two ago and saw a yellow gecko...BARELY saw a yellow gecko, since he blended in so well with the bricks....slowly making his way down the side of the building.  

Temperature is supposed to hit 100 F. this coming week.  Not looking forward to that.....but we may be able to venture outside tomorrow, since the forecast is below 90.  

This isn't normal, folks.  I wish I could open the windows, for us and for the clowns.

 Our relentless heat wave finally came to an abrupt end.  One day it was still hot, dry summer and the next...RAIN!  And with that...lower t...
