@czarbucks @firefly @AE4WX @amyedge @ai6yr @Jennifer @lckrohjr Good morning! Grainy pic showing Kitties got some Squirrel TV time this morning. I could see No Tail, Little Guy, and Brown Face plus a new guy with a distinctive light gray stripe down his tail. Many small finches and nut hatches. A good way to start the day.
It will be another hot and humid day for us in VA, and it looks NC is not going to be much better. Will be watching things in the Pacific as Hurricane Iona, TS Kelli and three potential siblings are all growing at approximately the same time. It looks like they’ll all slide by Hawaii, but fingers crossed. The Atlantic is still very quiet (too quiet). Also watching fires on the West Coast, and hoping nothing will light off in VA or NC.
Have a calm Tuesday folks, and try to stay cool!
