Mud Dauber & Heron

Mud Dauber:  On September 7, we discovered this mud dauber nest on the doorway of a house we watch.  


On September 10 we returned to that house and found the exit holes where the new daubers have left their nice protective home.  


I find these insects fascinating because of the nests they construct.  Anything that helps rid us of ugly spiders is a friend of mine.  Want to read more?  Here's a link:  Mud Dauber Information

Sure is a skinny one!

Remember this picture of the water main break in September 2017?


Looks like that same line may have another weak spot.
.  Mark, Eddie, and Vicki were checking it out this morning.




Thank you to Lynne Rogers for sending me this photo of the Great Blue Heron perched atop one of our street lights.  BIG bird.

Kat just hopped up on the desk and gave me this ball.  I think he wants to play now.
