The buoys are back in town as the Coast Guard plopped them in the bay this week. Must be spring?? It seems so, with cherry blossoms, trilliums, and garden asparagus in the pan. The so-called "Toy Truck" and driver were both working! On the ground: appearances by raccoons, three colours of squirrel, chipmunks and many many rabbits.
The annual bird migration seems to be peaking. Orioles, robins, and juncos have come and gone. Tiny warblers flit among the trees, very colourful but camera shy. Many of the others are so busy feeding that they hold still for their close-up; how many of these common ones can you name?
Glorious driving weather has also returned. The good news is that Pat is bonding with the Falcon now that it has an alignment and steers straight. The bad news is that the '02 Mustang has been sold, sort of. A couple from Collingwood wants the car ("We've never had a fun car!") for the sunny season and gave a substantial deposit. But the mechanic forgot to order the government forms that are needed to complete the sale and I still have the keys for one last cruise. Would you believe that excuse?
Bonus bird!! Once every few years an indigo bunting graces the grass...
