Spring garden flowers are starting to bloom, early tulips and daffodils have been blooming for about a week, with new ones every day. In the wild, the coltsfoot has bloomed and is starting to leave-out now, and the trout lilies are in full bloom. Masses of them by the stream.
<>I took down the bird feeders last week, but still chipping sparrows, a few bluejays, 2 mourning doves and a robin come to the area under the apple tree. There are still seeds there. The doves are new this year, they are ” a couple” and I am hoping that they will nest nearby.<> During the snowstorm we had in April, a robin came to the feeder, I put out currants which he ate. He has been coming back ever since, now with a mate. I expect a robin’s nest nearby.
<>We’ve had out first forest fire of the season. With luck and rain, it will be the only one. Although on the same day there were 3 fires in the area. We were far enopough away, and the wind was in the right direction that we were in no immediate danger.
