Unlike today, with the temperature at 102 in the shade, last Saturday was another one of those perfect summer weather days.
I had a three hour block of time to spend with Juby while waiting for Tori to give her speech in front of a live class for her on-line course in communications.
After a lovely visit with friends who took us on a long walk on the bike path to the playground, we returned to wait for our college student.
We then spent a relaxing half-hour at this very healthy koi pond.
The sights and sounds were so pretty.
This is the pump house. This cute little house was built to cover a modern day pump.
Likewise, the water line is disguised inside this hollow log.
A blue dragonfly, (which is a popular decoration on girls' clothing this summer), hovered over the pond and alighted on a leaf.
The lilies were in bloom. The pads must be "lily leaves".
The bumble bee to the left of center in this photo was as attracted to the heavenly scent of this flowering bush as I was. The fragrance reminded me of a hedge bush called "Bridal Wreath" which it may be.
Observing this pond was an extremely pleasant way to pass some unhurried time...
while we waited for Tori,
who got an "A" on her speech!
