Good 52º clear sunny morning.
Stayed some cooler yesterday. We topped at 91º.
Yesterday I heard this peeping bird sound. Looked out and here
was a couple of very young quail walking along the top of the fence. They were very nervous and hopped right down....
Here is some interesting information re quail and that funny sound they
make:

Blueberry Muffin Day
Now here is a special day you can sink your teeth into. Blueberry Muffins
are one of America's favorite muffins. And, the blueberry harvest is occurring
right now!
European settlers brought with them a recipe for "Bilberry Muffins".
Bilberries were not to be found in the New World. Wild blueberries, native to
the Americas, were both plentiful and delicious. The wild blueberries were
substituted for Bilberries, and the Blueberry Muffin recipe was born.
Did You Know? Native
Americans called blueberries "star berries".
In addition to tasting delicious, blueberries are very healthy for you.
They are one of the best foods you can eat. Blueberries can help fight or avoid
many ailments, including cancer, dementia, promote heart health, and much, much
more.
BTW: Three of the past four days have a special day with something to do
with blueberries. Yet, the creator is not known in any of them. Perhaps, one
blueberry loving person created all three days!?
National Blueberry Muffins Day is celebrated by:
Baking blueberry muffins. Use fresh picked blueberries.
Eating Blueberry muffins at for breakfast, lunch, dinner or as a
snack.
