I try to sit on the porch in the evening after the sun goes down. Just after 8:00 in our back yard and in the field behind our house, bats make their appearance, hunting and diving after insects. Usually about 20-30 feet above the ground. We are about a mile or so from Carpenter's Cave and there are many other smaller caves nearby. I don't particularly like bats, but I enjoy watching them flying around.
About the same time, the fireflies and tree frogs get busy, a few deer will come out of hiding ... usually the finale is a coyote yelping chorus and by that time, it is dark.

This afternoon, I attended the farewell party for Vivien as she prepares to go home to Germany. I know her family will be thrilled to see her!
Still hot but a small chance of rain tonight.
