Spring is late, but it sure is happening!

Weve had a very wet spring, and cold. But now we are reaping the goodies, our flowers are just amazing. Rhodies and everything since the azaleas are done.
We have tons of baby birds, one of the best years for songbirds around here. Perhaps the reason is that we have lovely Foxes who keep the rodents under control. Many fewer squirrels that other years. And we have some coyotes, and they are even better rodent control. Maybe thats why there are no stray cats at all. So the songbirds are flourishing. And the Winter Moth caterpillars are everywhere, eating our Oaks and Maples, but providing the birds with the best windfall of food ever. (One of our local markets is called Windfall.)
This has been a spectacular spring! Even my bamboo is sprouting beyond expectations.
But we do need some rain,,,,,,,,,
