Summery

Confounding predictions, it was a warm, sunny day.  The yellow rose went from bud to full blown.  Blue jays were happy I put out barkbutter balls in the morning.I was gone all afternoon.  I spooked a bluebird when I came home.  A brown headed nuthatch had designs on the seed feeder.  The female cardinal fed the male this time.  A hummer briefly visited the freshly filled feeder then zoomed off before I clicked the shutter.  I had dumped the old sugar water and brewed fresh, and scrubbed the feeder.
