Ramirez does another excellent job of mocking political morons like Harry Reid . . .
A Cactus Wren
This cactus wren was perched on the crook that holds the seed block feeder. I took this photo from the RV drive just below the feeders. Click on the image to enlarge.
From Wikipedia:
The Cactus Wren is the largest North American wren, at 18–23 cm (7.1–9.1 in) long. Unlike the smaller wrens, the Cactus Wren is easily seen. It has the loud voice characteristic of wrens. The Cactus Wren is much less shy than most of the family. Its marked white eyestripe, brown head, barred wings and tail, and spotted tail feathers make it easy to identify. Like most birds in its genus, it has a slightly curved bill.
This is also the state bird of Arizona.
Another Beautiful Red Rose
I just love to get pretty flowers and put them in a vase. The vase with a bouquet of roses and stargazers and this gorgeous red rose sits atop a sofa table in the great room. Click on the image to enlarge.
Trimming the Landscape
I spent most of the morning trimming the rosemary shrubs that line the back slope of the RV drive. The landscapers put the one-gallon shrubs in a year ago and they have grown nicely – in fact so well that the bottom row were starting to cover the river rocks stacked along the bottom 30 inches of the slope.
I was lucky today, since the sky was overcast (monsoons in progress) and the temperature only got up to about 92 with 40 percent relative humidity – mandatory perspiration while working. In all, there were 26 shrubs that needed attention. I trimmed several earlier in the week, but quit after a while – it was around 105 the other day.
The composite photo above (taken after the work) shows the magnitude of the effort. Click on the image to enlarge.
Where Are The Hurricanes?
Remember when all the hurricanes were pounding Florida and the Gulf Coast a few years back? All the greenbats and global warmists were blaming greenhouse gas and other horrible man-made things for the weather; the warming apocalypse was nigh!
Well, it’s the middle of freaking huricane season and if you go to the National Weather Service’s National Hurricane Center website you get the “No tropical Cyclones at this time” message.
This must be An Inconvenient Truth for the Goracle and all the other warmist liars.
Fish Hook Cactus Flowers
Last year, We rescued this tiny fish hook cactus when the landscape crew had to remove it to install irrigation lines. It lived in a pot until early this year, when we transplanted it to the rock and cactus garden beside the RV drive. Today, it is showing these four flowers with two more buds to open.

Baloon Payment
Another great Ramirez cartoon- Why this administration will never get the economy to fly . . .
