Yesterday was dull and rainy.
I didn't really need to go anywhere, and so I didn't!


Instead, I spent much of the day sitting in my kitchen and watching the birds: it was that wonderful day when the Rose-breasted Grosbeaks and Orioles arrive in the Hollow, six or eight or even more all at the same time and all looking for more and more sunflower seeds!

On one of my trips out to the bird feeders, I spotted the first blossoms on my "Crane's bill" wild geranium from Nine Mile Swamp.

I'll certainly be out and around, today, and will try to find more pictures for you to look at tomorrow!

Have a good day, everyone!
