Sometimes I don't smile in selfies because I'm concentrating on getting us both in the picture.

Weird dogs in the yard

I think Charlie wants Alexis to shove over and make room on the bed, but he doesn't quite get why he can't.
Jim is just sitting here in the kiddie pool, what's YOUR problem?

Something I've learned from my brief time on Tumblr is that these things have as many regional names as terrestrial isopods.

Sunday, after the Urban Nature Walk, I joined Alexis who was busily cleaning out our old place. Turns out there was still a metric shitload of our stuff in there and it had to be out by Tuesday. Also it was 90 degrees F, 32 degrees in metric bra- and ball- sweat measurements.
Much of what we got rid of we did by simply placing it on the sidewalk in boxes marked "free." These steampunk era ragpickers made short work of it all.
Friday was marked with dramatic downpours. Our aging building may need some gutter work.

Alex and Jim came over to keep me and the big dogs company after I got back from Curry Field. Jim is begging to fetch, crazy thing.
I guess I hadn't had enough of seeing dragonflies! This one obligingly posed on the clothesline.
Meanwhile, Jim found a way to cool down. I can't get enough of this guy either.
Third heat wave this summer. Jim knows how to keep cool.
A friend on FB said: the weather channel says "a week of sultry weather is ahead" this makes me think the weather could get a bit sexy, a little friskay. the weather may show up in some smokey eye makeup and a negligee...

Sweatin' on July seventh. The heat wave lasted 5 days. Not bad! Longest July heatwave since 1990.

Friday July 5th, a sunny hot day and this capybara is enjoying the tall grasses in her outside exhibit.
Jim in the pool

Jim is only one of the dogs that takes advantage of the pool.
Charlie is spending a lot of time these hot days laying flat on the ground. Unfortunately he seems to be allergic to something there.
Jim has the right idea!

With no foster pup in the house it's easier to have Alex and Jim visit. (Jim isn't a fan of the puppies.)
Later in the afternoon we went to a cookout at one of the other PittieLove Rescue foster homes. These are the resident pit bulls, Diesel and Trinny.

4th of July cookout at friends house in Jamaica Plain!
The traditional American dish of steak and tofu with avocado sauce, mushrooms, and fruit salad.

rockbalancer at Drumlin Farm is happy to take over ownership of my cockroaches as I depart to work at the zoo. These days she blogs about urban nature in Los Angeles!Dedham, after the rain

We've had a lot of partially rainy days this summer. It's been good for plant and mushroom growth. I wish these mushrooms were in my yard, but they won't be. This is "Old man of the woods," Strobilomyces sp., a mushroom whose parent fungus grows in association with hardwood trees. These were at the base of an oak. Our yard has Norway maple (which, as a non-native weed tree probably won't form mycorrhizae with native mushrooms--we'll see, I guess) and shagbark hickory, so I doubt we'll have this mushroom species.
Our yard does have lots of insects, and the rain can make them easier to photograph:

Got a kiddie pool in case Charlie wants to do some swimming in the yard. He doesn't really consider it swimming, however, unless the water is over his head. Nice for a cool foot soak anyway.
Noticing the year, mid June 2009
Jun. 16th, 2009 09:33 pmIt's been a weird spring so far. We had a handful of genuinely hot days (80 degrees +) in April and May (including the day before my mushroom class, when it caused a problem for me), but June has been almost uniformly cold and gray. By "cold" I mean 50s and low 60s, and by "uniformly" I mean probably half the time or more. Everyone kind of expects June to be the beginning of Summer weather.
My dad is thankful for this unusual pattern, because he teaches in a public school building with no air conditioning. The kids aren't staring longingly out the window at a day better spent at the beach, and he isn't sweltering in his shirt and tie.
