A bumblebee buzzing by me as I worked on weeding the garden.

The sun feeling hot on my back.

My garden is a sea of blue ( bluebells, forget me nots, and rosemary) and yellow (euphorbia) and the lilacs are nearly opening and the peonies at my absolute favourite stage of unfolding.

Hearing a Chipping Sparrow out my window.

Baltimore Orioles are here,I put out orange slices for them.

what is funny, is watching what crows and ravens do when you put out marshmallows for them to eat.

Saw some large bees for the first time today.

Birds mating, right out in public.

Feeder ran out of black oil sunflower seeds so the grosbeaks left and took the orioles with them.User birds, I was getting more seeds tomorrow.
Wood Thrush singing and the indigo buntings have arrived.And the first mosquitos.
Swarms of hummingbirds at the feeding station.
Found a six foot snake shed from a black snake.

I'm a New Yorker... Spring is about a half a month/ month late here. Tree in the back should be blossoming, but won't for another week.

First tornado warning of the year for us. One of the perks of living in Kansas
(The worst stuff was just south of us but we were included in the warning, so we got to spend a little time in the basement but are fine)

The Chimney Swifts are back -- that's a major sign of spring in my neighborhood.

Salmonberry blossoms.

Probably close to literally half the neighborhood out doing yard work on weekend afternoons.

Catbirds building nests by the river today.

Zillions of rhododendron flowers.
