Already, two months have passed after Midsummer's Day. Soon it will be Autumn. That will be a relief. Summer is too hot for me. Blue skies are boring. I was happy to see clouds in the sky this morning. Now I can breathe freely.

Terweythyow ma othom a checkya atalgutter. Kemerowgh with derevel an còvren. Ma  kenis ow lurkya! Holma a nedhas neyth owrlyn rag hy oyow. Ma hei ow qwardya hy felen arvys en fers. Nag ew gwias kenisen rag cacha kelyon. Fesys ew nebes kenisednow behatna. Scon an genisen gelednek ma a vedh en tewlder arta. An atalgutter ew da lowr.

Sometimes a drain needs to be checked. Take care lifting the lid. There are spiders lurking! This one spun a silken nest for her eggs. She is guarding her precious orb fiercely. It's not a cobweb to catch flies. Some smaller spiders have been chased away. Soon this brave spider will be in the dark again. The drain is OK.

I heard rain in the night. And, behold, several inches of water in the wheelbarrow! Would the birds like to take a bath? I can't seemany birds today, and I can't hear many of them either. Where are they? Are they in somebody else's garden. I can hear the wind in the trees, and the distant sea. At last! A wood pigeon has come home.

We are already seeing dead leaves on the floor under our trees. They have the colours of autumn, but it is not autumn yet. The weather is very dry, and the trees are suffering stress without enough water. They are losing their leaves early to survive. We had a nice spring with plenty of blossom, so there are a lot of little apples. They cannot grow large, because there is no rain. Birds are pecking fruits in the trees for moisture. They are thirsty. And some apples are rotting before they fall. We picked some apples, but there will not be enough of them for the winter. Never mind! There are plenty of blackberries.

We had a drop of rain in the early morning. It wetted the garden, but there wasn't enough to water it very well. It's dried up already, except there are raindrops on a cobweb on a few strawberry leaves in the shade. The roof rafters of our neighbour's new shed got wet, but now it has a waterproof tarpaulin.

August is the right month for gathering fruits from the garden and from the hedges. Some apples are falling to the ground already. Many apples are damaged, pecked by birds for moisture. Flies and bees and wasps like damaged apples. But there are enough apples left for me to stew with blackberries from the hedges. I would like to have some yellow plums, too, but they are gone. Perhaps they were stolen by birds or by squirrels. The squirrels have certainly eaten all the hazel nuts.

Still, I am thinking of Wednesday's solar eclipse. I should paint a picture of the odd light. I walked to the sea. Could I find a reflection of the sun in low water, on wet sand? The eclipse was of no interest to that dog. The children were playing in the sand and water without thinking about the eclipse. The little river had less water because the tide had gone out. Perhaps a kite was more interesting than sun, sea and sand to others.
