Heavy rains today, much appreciated after the long break. 😊
Had to turn on air conditioning in the car in #Kodaikanal town, at least i know it still works 🙃
Guess that's what you get when everyone cuts down trees at a hill station to make space for more business and tourism.
Was woken up by dogs raising hell about intruders at 2:30am. Stepped outside to check, got 3-4 pairs of eyes glowing from the hillside as i scanned with a flashlight. Turned out to be a family of sambar deer passing through.
Evening was a sight
It rained after over a week of hot and dry weather. Plants and i are happy!
In Kodaikanal town for the day.
The faintest hint of Orion in the morning sky. (top left)
The other hint it's getting warmer in the hills - instead of encountering one mosquito in a few days, it's now a few every day.
You can tell it's warmer than usual when dogs in the hills are taking a dip in puddles. Don't recall this sight around in the 4 years I've been here.
As much as I loathe "the cloud", I'm grateful that I get to live in the clouds 🙃
The vet office called, they've invited a senior vet who does the spaying/neutering operations on cats. The service is not available within 6hr drive otherwise.
Got 4 slots. Taking one feisty tomboy who needs to calm his hormones and three of the older girls.
Took only ~6 months to get this opportunity, but they insist next round will be sooner. *phew*
