Oh My but it has been a long time since I felt like writing anything and sharing some of my life here.
Seems a lot has happened over the last few months, yet  life has been the same.
My camera does not seem to come out as much, but when I look at my saved pics there are quite a few new ones

this littel fellow came to visit – I was lucky enough to get a pic as just after this a crow dived at him and chassed him away. I laughed so much at that as it just looked like the crow was protecting the feeder for the little birds. (They never feeds from it otherwise)

Another delightful little visitor while we still had the feeder up – we do not get to see this one regularly, but it came for quite a few days.

Elmer celelbrated his 80th Birthday in June

DIL made a truly great cake for him, and I asked two of his sons to share a chicken picnic dinner with us on our patio. They and their families came and I so enjoyed having them over – not sure what E thought though. He was excited at the prospect, but when it came to the actual event, I am not sure just how he felt. It took some doing to even get him to pose for this one

While there have been several birthdays or small events, I will have to get back to them – very few pics indeed for them.

Meanwhile – It has taken me a little while to get this album organized and uploaded. Always after the winter I can hardly wait to see what is going to come up again in my garden and what will not survive and have to be replaced. Seems the extra long cold winter and heavy snow did not hurt too many of my plants, though some did not make it. My bulbs were not the best, especially the Hyacinths, while the wild bluebells took over (Idid not take their pics) but it was just wonderful to see new growth and color again. This album covers from April to June, and as much as possible I have tried to show it in the monthly progressions.
