Here are some things I saw this week during a
| The bearded iris are almost done blooming, but the Siberian iris are still showing their beautiful purple color. | 
| The tulip poplar tree is blooming. | 
| Ward and I had an interesting show one morning as we watched a neighborhood cat stalk a groundhog. | 
| The very fragrant wild roses are blooming. | 
| The golden garlic is blooming. Every year, I never remember we have these plants until they bloom. So they're always a nice surprise. | 
| The chickadee is starting to lay eggs in the new nest that was built on top of another chickadee nest. | 
| The bluebird box was starting to get crowded with the growing babies. Three days after this, the box was empty. Now we're not the only ones with an empty nest. :) | 
| After having a big serving of suet, the squirrel cleaned up seeds under the bird feeder. |
