jennlkYesterday's bird sighting was a Baltimore Oriole in the lilac in the front yard (and of course the camera is in the den in the back of the house, so no picture). He appears every year, but never sticks around, probably because we don't have much for him to eat other than seeds -- the hummingbird feeders are usually busy with hummers, although they do have perches. I put some apples out, but I don't know if they'll attract anything but ants.
I think there's a leak in the pond -- we've been getting rain often enough that I haven't had to fill it very often. The little tete-a-tete daffodils are blooming in the E garden, and there are flowers on the strawberries. The flowers on the crabapple are beginning to pop, and the forsythia pretty much skipped flowering this season, and is mostly leafed out. There are lots of buds on the peonies, and I have hopes of a good showing this year. (I've had hopes every year, but we've had poorly timed rains and/or heat waves....)
