a summer vignette

It’s hot today. My plants were wilting. I put out the sprinkler, and I’ve been moving it around all day to soak the entirety of the grounds. Most recently, I put it directly in front of my office window. Shortly after I came back in, I noticed activity. The house finches (little brown common birds) are happily playing in the puddles and jumping through the jets of water. For some reason, this makes me happy.
