Good morning, Cafe. DL - there was no need for you to be there.

Morning and thanks for the coffee! It got to 34 last night and they are saying snow showers on Sat. night. Oh well, at least I do not have much planted yet. Snow showers and rain on Memorial Day too... Oh, well I guess it will chase away the virus-carrying, mountain enjoying, never say die, party going types. And I do not need to worry about them burning down the forest this time. How is that for a "Scrooge" take? LOL!
Enjoy the day!

Good afternoon Cafe.
Thank for the coffee DL.
I've made an afternoon pot if anyone wants a cup.

hi all .

Thanks for the coffee DL; tea is worth trying, as it can be very refreshing. I don't think I've ever found coffee to be refreshing; it's more like a zap to me

I do have a cup of tea from time to time. I'm one of those types that isn't that strongly affected by the caffeine in the coffee. I really enjoy the flavor.

This morning's run with the dogs was spirit soothing for me.

I finally saw my first Bobolinks for the season. They are one of my very favorites with their melodious song and striking plumage.

I also had the pleasure of witnessing a murder of crows harassing a raven. As the cacophony was building with the arrival of sub-groups of crows I was trying to get to the site to see if they were after the fox I'd seen several nights prior. That is when I saw the raven burst out of the tree canopy with at least a dozen crows on it's tail. They all displayed quite the aerial acrobatics before the raven made it's escape.

I heard and saw red winged black birds, gold finches, cat birds, blue birds, cardinals and tree swallows all under a bright blue, cloudless sky with a warm breeze. As we were coming out of the woods on the new trail, I heard some deer snort and run off. We saw them darting across the field when we came back into that area. They looked to be a group of yearlings.

I hope you all enjoy your days with whatever you have planned. I'm off to get the garden beds in order.

It sounds like nature is starting to perk up in your area!

I had 2 Lavendar Lavendar cochins hatch, one for sure is a cockerel, and the younger one I am suspecting.
