The same here John, with the exception for birds. Lots of birds out there, and I did see a mouse in the garden. I'm not going to turn the dogs loose on it because they'd destroy the garden to get the rodent.

I keep water in the bird bath and there are lots of seeds from my sunflowers (the wild kind with small seeds).

Only 106 today, we're getting a cool patch here. It's all what you're acclimated to - I grew up in a mild climate so I know that summer can be a delightful season. I've had to adjust down here, I don't like it, but the natives are just as miserable.
