    The orioles and cardinals have been here for breakfast.  One of the orioles has been singing for a mate all day the last few days.  Not as many as last year but we have quite a few hummingbirds now that the females are here too.  Yesterday's wind meant that I kept the waves wrapped up in remay.  The hummingbirds have been going in the greenhouse.

    Yesterday's wind blew a tree on the power line, Which made a transformer catch on fire. Which caught a tree on fire.  Thankfully the Bradford fire department got there quickly and put it out before it started a wildfire.

    Onions are planted, potatoes are next in the main gardens.  My few potatoes are planted, onions and strawberries are next.  I'll be covering them with remay to keep the dandelion seeds out.

     May your day be blessed, Sally
