Sparrow photos by Teresa Keefer
This little fellow was all a twitter as we were eating our lunch too close to his nest.
Eventually we reached a truce.

Garden Circa May 31, 2009
One week. What a week will do! I did cheat a little. I added bedding plants and I bought a few plants that already started. Soon, zucchini.

Hawthorn Tree
The Hawthorn tree are just at their peak. There are several of them on the farm, as they are indigenous to the area. Right now, the blossoms are alive with the sounds of bees and other pollinators. I saw a bee as big as my thumb!
The Snowball Tree
All the tentative reminders of spring--the violets, the balm of Gilead, the lilacs--are finished. Suddenly, all the leaves on all the tress are out.
This snowball tree is very old, but it had been languishing in a grove of birch trees. It was only about three feet tall, when we decided to move it to its present location. Suddenly it grew and grew. They are right, it is all in the location.
