It has been intensely hot and dry here lately, (it is after all a desert), and the old agua is evidently in short supply. The bees have discovered our bird bath, as have the birds. They share the water in apparent harmony.
We moved. gasp! Boxes everywhere. But at least it's not a rental any more. And close to Topanga State Park. And close to work. Will post a pic when I've hacked a path through the boxes to the computer.
