With gray skies and rain (1.2") the past few days the cats are in Full Sleep Mode.
The birds, on the other hand, seem unaffected.
We have two Violet-Green Swallow families now. This parent flew in to feed the babies, and is 'cleaning house' (baby poop) before flying off again. One year we had a Barn Swallow nest on the back porch. The parents taught the chicks to poop over the edge of the nest - so clever!
The Black-capped Chickadees have raised their families and are slowly returning to the feeders. I had a Chestnut-Backed Chickadee at a backyard feeder yesterday.
AS I mentioned, we are sleepy!
The California Quail are busy, busy, busy too. We have at least two new families complete with chicks. I'll have photos on Monday's post.
The males become hyper-vigilant once there are chicks.
There does seem to be an over-riding theme for today's post!
One year ago today Mom and I visited the Pompeii special exhibition at the British Museum and I blogged further about our visit to Sissinghurst the pervious day.

Your cats have the right idea, sleep away a rainy day. The first one especially looks like my cat. Cute cats.
Looking forward to baby quail photos.....
I wish I was curled up somewhere comfy and fast asleep right now!
It is rainy here today, and guess who is sleeping on my lap? Henry. ;)
I would certainly take some of your rain. After a very wet winter and spring, we're full into dry, dry summer. The cats certainly look happy
lol! A sleepy day for the cats, wide awake day for the birds!
Lazy day!
I love the quail pics.
I find it funny that the cats can sleep with all those birds about!
