The moon looked absolutely gorgeous this morning!

I have been cheating on BP.
For the last three evenings around 7pm I sit out on my front porch and wait for Mister Hummingbird to come by. Again, last night, he did not disappoint. There is a butterfly bush right near my front porch and hummers must love them too because this guy flew from long flower to long flower sucking nectar. Insatiable. At one point, it got about three inches away from my face and just hovered. I love looking at hummingbirds.
Although my garden looks pretty tired, it’s really alive with butterflies, moths, hummers and yellow finches. Yesterday evening a huge ass raven—it was as big as a cat!-- was bathing in the bird bath.
Oh, and the one-eared black cat that my neighbor Bill feeds and waters left me a present on my back porch. A dead mouse. I asked LP to get a shovel out of the shed so I could scoop it up. I saw Bill out on his deck so I told him that his cat accidentally left a gift for him on my porch. He laughed and said, “That’s okay….you can have it!”
