I was gone for a few days and when I came back the Evening Grosbeaks had taken over the feeders. I don't remember seeing so many before.

When I was out for my walk yesterday the fragrances were wonderful and they were mostly from the lupines and the lilac trees and it is so green here right now it also smells so fresh.

The orchardgrass is really growing now and we will be doing our first cutting pretty soon hopefully no rain this year.
