The grassblades are going yellow. They need rain. There is some green. The weeds are green. The lawn is a weedpatch, with dark green weeds and light green weeds. They are wild plants.

I don't like dwelling in a city, among big buildings and lots of people. I prefer being among vegetation. But that is not perfect. There are little creatures in the surrounding countryside that are not seen in towns. This creature is a tick. They drink the blood of big animals, e.g. deer, sheep and cattle. They can also feed upon some small rodents. They are found in wet bracken, rough grassland and the edge of woods (and perhaps in my garden an...

The sun is still shining, but the sky is cloudy and there is a gentle wind from the west. Unfortunately, I can't see the night sky, because of the clouds. The constellations are changing, I believe. We have moved away from Cancer and we are entering Leo. I like drawing Leo!
