Are you one of those people who everything reminds them of a song? Or is that just me? A thunderstorm was kicking up as I sat down to write this and here is what I started to sing. (Luckily, I'm at home where I can sing as much and as loudly as I want.)
The winds are blowing and the rain is falling,
But joy is filling the air
Troubles and sorrows are gone forever,
But song abounds everywhere.
I was reminded of this song by the gusting winds, but I also see now that it has the perfect words to go with how I often feel when doing a
Second Look. When I am stressed, I can forget about my troubles for a little while as I explore
the birds and the bees and the flowers and the trees and the moon up above (Oh no, another song crept in). I think it's time to stop singing and get to the business at hand.
Here are some things I saw this week during
a Second Look.

The Siberian iris around our wellhead are in bloom. |
|
Different bearded iris are also blooming. |
|
The peach tree didn't have many blooms this year, but there are a few peaches starting to form. |
|
The purple sage are in full bloom. |
|
Little blossoms that fell from the holly tree above. |
|
Cranesbill |
|
You can see the blue feathers are starting to form on the baby bluebirds. It won't be long now before they leave the nest. |
|
You can see how much the birds have changed in less than two weeks. |
