Filling up the hummer feeders.Wild roses and honeysuckle blooming.
Found a snake in a bag of peat moss.Crow at feeder carrying off extra for the nestlings.

I believe there's an oriole singing outside.

The DPW just went around and mulched all the roadside flower beds, so now the whole neighborhood smells like a manure pile.

Wild grapes are blooming.
Toads are trilling.

Listening to a Baltimore Oriole singing outside my window.

/\They like oranges and hummingbird feeders.Usually some stop by here on their way north but not any this year and no Rose breasted Grosbeaks either.

Floods in cities.

A tiny fly in my room zooming around my monitor. My first mosquito bite of the year. Lots and lots of May flowers everywhere. Baby bunnies. Nesting crows going berserk cawing and dive boming people (although I think they're done with that by now). I'm expecting to see caterpillars soon.

A storm and flood alert.
But at least it's green, not grey.

The French Open is (pun intended) in full swing and Roger and Rafael are doing great!

The Black Locust trees are coming into bloom in my neighborhood -- the last trees to flower -- and that's the sign that spring has come to an end. This weekend will bring this seasonal thread to its close, and unless the antipodeans want to open it up in October, we'll see you all again next year sometime around March.
