Since 1/1/11 I have been describing what I see in the back yard. I occasionally digress.

Hot day
Morning was windy so we had pelicans. One azalea bush began blooming. Oak, maple, and dogwood were blooming while the wild cherry put out leaves. A couple of cabbage whites flitted around egging leaves. A patch of leucojum bloomed. I had hoped to be rid of it. The temperature was 79° at lunch. I spotted a song sparrow on a branch, then a white throat on another. A paper wasp gnawed on an old bamboo stake. Starlings demolished the suet and fought with each other for the privilege. A couple of turtles enjoyed the warmth. I had expected more of them to be basking. By 6pm rain had begun falling.
