Where did May go?

The rain we'd hoped for passed us by. It was so disappointing. Overnight temperatures are so low, it was only 2 C. when I first got up. Southwestern Ontario had snow, which would have been fine, as it melted for most. We've got to have some rain for crops. So many veggies are in the ground. We've had local asparagus, and the strawberries are well on their way.

In a normal year, it'd be nice to see the tulips at Dow's lake. This was 2003!

The critters are still doing critter things. I know the geese have hatched, as well as the ducklings. None here, but lots from Bala photos. This one is my favourite! My SIL recovered thousands of my old photos for me. These are the geese who used to visit us on Long Lake, on the Whale's Back rock. 

The bees are busy.

The meadow trailcam showed my the coyote, bat, and Butch. in the meadow  

 

The crows are still in their tree nest. I frequently see them in the meadows📹, looking for grub. I love their little waddle, as they amble through the grass. You can see the difference between the two trailcams. The quality is obvious, between the two camera, a difference in cost of about $100. Crow May 26 & 27 

   

We had a crow in my schoolyard, back in the 60s, Cottingham Public School in Toronto. It only had one foot. It was quite friendly with all of us kids.

Butch was in the backyard yesterday. 

 There was a Doe on the far trailcam, with something wrong with her skin. We'll have to watch for her. I saw a fawn last week. They haven't been around, since the bugs are so bad. I don't think I've seen one in the yard for weeks.
