Woodpecker and 40 degrees in the shade

Hello All:
Yesterday at the cottage the temperature was over 40 C in the
front window.  We went for a walk to look at the Sauna and
then had to move to the shade for some liquid refreshments when we got back
to our camp.
While we were sitting on the from deck we had a great view of a Piloted????
Woodpecker.  
The weather is somewhat cooler and cloudy today in town.  Will run out to
the cottage on the weekend if the weather turns good again.  (Lots of junk
to move back to town.. guitar, canned food, clothes, water cooler etc.
etc.....)

Storm Clouds

Approaching storm chases the sun away. Was just a quick sun shower and then the sun came back. Having some nice weather these last few days.

Tipi at sunset

Nice sunset tonight.

5' Kid's Tipi

A "Tipi" I made from a 3 metre x 1.5 metre  (10' x 5') piece of canvas I bought at Walmart for $28.   The Tipi is 5' diameter and 5' tall inside. I haven't had time to sew the fireflaps so they are just tacked in place with some waterproof woodglue.
