The tree that crashed in to my house.

Releasing 2 young starlings from their temporary chimney prison back in to the wild.

Woken up around 5am by dog going nuts. Now waiting for pest control guy to come remove whatever is stuck in my chimney. Says most likely bat or bird. Sounds more like bear or mountain lion to me. Maybe Drogon.

Comforting dog on couch. Not a fan of the 4th of July

Likes the warm and sunny spots.

Finished my hugelkultur inspired raised bed. Put in some pumpkin and gourd seeds. See how it works out.

Dog run

Trying to explain that we can't do the dog run in the rain. Don't think she agrees

Hard to see with all the reeds, we have goslings on the pond . Good job mom.

Found 2 of the 3 birdhouses I put together this winter are now occupied. Got to spend day getting garden together. Lots of mulch. Interested to see if the soapwort grows . Seems like I've been planning this for 30 years.

Sky cleared yet no northern lights.

Googling fasciation

My daughter using the clameur de harro with her friends.

Put out potatoes and dug in 6 peonies. Interwebs say deer don't like them. Think I reached my digging quota for the month. Hanging up shovel till May.

Likes to keep an eye on Lexington Ave. Probably also needs a trip to the dog run.

Trip to Antietam battlefield. Daughter wanted to see where her Great X5 Grandfather fought. We found memorial to his regiment but also this one. Tiny. Dedicated to Clara Barton who was here and later founded red cross. Easy to miss amongst all the plinths, guys on horses and engraved plaques.

Binging The Night Manager

Finished installing 2 packages of bees b4 the rain started.

Feel like I got beat up yesterday. Advil and couch.

Kidney stones :/

Working Docs. Steel toe, steel shank, defined heel.for working aloft. Surprisingly comfortable.

Cons Consider my orchard complete. 3 Fuji and 4 Newtown Pippin. Digging holes in the rain. Check back in 30 years for apples.

We certainly hope so. Sophia likes seeing them from her bedroom window.

Best pix I could get. Decided to name them Wayne and Janet. Interwebs say we should see goslings in 28ish days.

Geese returned to our pond. Female sitting on little Reed Island, male just tooling around. Freaking wild america here. I'm no Marty Stouffer with the camera though. Can't get a good picture.

Always thought this had a David Bowie feel to it. Great song.

1994 getting a little stale too. Glad I was underwater that night.

Home from hockey game. First time using mass transit. Kiddo liked the chanting on the train.
