I think I might get caught up! You know, if I would just post one photo a day, I could easily keep up. But then I wouldn’t have all da kine about what my days have been like. And I think it’d be kind boring, too.

Jake came over today and did a bit of mowing.
I did some plying today, spinning two singles together.
We went to Boring Square Garden Center to get some plants today. This a family-owned business and we love supporting them. This is also where I deliver a bunch of food on Thursdays, and they take the load up to Sandy to the Action Center.
The Clematis is so pretty! This is Nelly Moser, and it’s my favorite.

    If I had Western Tanagers visit my yard, I’d obsess over them too. My bird song app says we have warblers (Wilson’s, Townsend’s and Yellow) in my ‘hood, but I haven’t spotted them yet.

    Your action hummer photo from 5/17 makes him look like a very big bee!

      The Tanagers don’t seem to stay around very long… I’m hoping that they’ll stay for nesting season, though. I think they’d be more visible if the dumbass squirrels wouldn’t keep trying to get the suet; I have to bring in the feeder when I’m not here to scare them off.
