Happy Victoria Day!

It's May 2-4, and it is planting season.

 The hummingbirds continue to feed and fight over the 4-hole hummer feeder! Not to mention the various birds that try the feeder, like the goldfinch! 

Vulture migrate from our region. Joe Brian and I sit on the back deck and watch them. We are happy to see them soaring on the winds up above. My cue is to say, "Look alive!" as they only eat dead things. 

Bleeding hearts are in bloom in my garden, as well as the Downy Yellow Violet in the forest.

Cinnamon and I went walkies! I'll bet the coyote peed on this stump. Cinn was very keen on it.

Barry Beaver is losing water to evaporation in his wetland river. Since I wrote this, we had a nice dump of rain.

I left Cinn sniffing, then called him to resume our walk. He's been very hesitant to go out in the forest alone. This is a good thing. He'll just sit on the deck and watch Fred and MiniFred. He roars across the lawn, out in the open with me.

The Aspen is close to falling. Oopsie, it fell since I wrote this. I could hear it creaking. More on this later. 

This fearsome critter triggered the trailcam. Yogi claims I am the Trailcam Queen! Well, it is a passion of mine. I think I look more like a rabid golfer! 

The camera is a little too high methinks. The deer was curious.

The deer should be giving birth soon, if they haven't already. I spotted a new born fawn on on the camera last year. Life goes on. 

 May 10th...

   

 In the meantime, there are issues between Fred and miniFred. They are solitary, and Fred doesn't want to share her deep burrows. It's going to be a tense summer, I think.

 

I got so much gardening done Sunday. I put my feet up, and Joe fetched us a pizza. He did all sorts of chores indoors.
