       Lots of male hummingbirds are at the feeders.  I haven't seen any females yet.  Orioles are usually not far behind the hummingbirds.  I just put out some grape jelly and half an orange for them.  The swallows are back.  Just in time to eat the black flies

     The fruit trees came early yesterday morning.  All day there was a steady stream of pickups leaving with trees in the back.  Bekah was afraid she had ordered too many trees, I guess not.  Lots of shrubs, perennials and hanging baskets left too.  Some shrubs fell off the delivery  truck when the driver opened the door.  We got word yesterday that the nursery will credit us for them or send replacements if we want to place another order..  So many plants have left that Bekah is going to make another order.  Those shrubs will be replaced and more shrubs and perennials will come on the order.

      PT this morning for me.  then a beautiful day to work outside.  May God bless your day. Sally
