Comments (2) I love this video for so many reasons. First of all, I learned a fancy new word for the phenomenon that you see in the video. Secondly, nature is always amazing and I love seeing things like this. These two girls? They were so lucky to be there in the middle of it all, and I love how much they loved it. Enjoy!

The autumnal solstice has arrived, and fall is officially here. The weather, though cooler at night, it still quiet warm in the day time (in the 80s) and as such the garden is still growing.
An awesome patch of mushrooms popped up. I’m just sad that they aren’t edible, because we sure do have a lot of them!
There have been so many bees this year! It’s great to see it, maybe bees are recovering.
And of course, there have been a lot of spiders this year too. Spiders don’t bother me, as long as they stay outside where they live and don’t come into our house. Check out this funnel web!
Is it starting to feel like fall where you live?
Oh summer, you and your hot weather! All I want to do is float in a pool, but we don’t have a pool, so running through a sprinkler now and then has to suffice. I have summer brain. Not only am I forgetting the things I need to get done, but the kitchen has become my enemy. Who wants to spend time in a kitchen, cooking hot things, when it’s almost 100 degrees outside? Not me.
On my birthday we crossed off one of my 101 items, we visited The Living Planet Aquarium. Here is one of their star residents, the sea turtle. It was a tricky video to get, everyone was there trying to catch a glimpse:
More about the turtle (source): “The 40lb Green Sea Turtle was severely bitten by a large shark and then hit by a boat, and shortly thereafter was rescued by The Turtle Hospital in Florida. It has a large semi-circular wound (approx 12 inches in diameter) on its right side. After a year of care it is still unable to fully submerge and therefore would not survive in the wild on its own, causing it to be non-releasable. In order to assist the turtle with buoyancy, custom made lead weights have been applied to its shell with marine epoxy and Velcro. All turtles float differently and at different angles, therefore the appropriate weight is placed on the back and sides of the shell.”
Aside from celebrating holidays and birthdays, our summer has been full of yard work, and lazy nights.
What do you do in the summertime? Do you get summer brain too?
