The sweet, last warm days continue. I usually spend some time reading on the back deck. I take a break between outside chores.
The Aspen grove is growing nicely. The previous owners cut the grass here, but after 12 years, I've let it grow. We need trees. They survived Gypsy Spongy moth caterpillars, and are taller than I am.

Have a great weekend, it is Friday.
