Wow! Thats fantastic. There are so many birds around now. I'm still not
good identifying them but Paul said he saw a yellow bird so may have been a
Canada warbler. I'll keep an eye out for it while I'm planting our tomatoes
in the garden today. So far we are growing a lot of weeds and ticks. Haha.
We have found lots of ticks. I even found one on me at work climbing up my
chest. It was definitely a black legged tick. I ran into the bathroom and
whipped off all my clothes and inspected. The little bugger was hiding in
my black shirt. I'm detemined to wear only light clothing from now on. I
got some of that spray but now from the nature ns list I see it is
practically useless. Haha. Bug nets seem to work  the best for black flies.

You are really zooming through that painting. We have still not managed to
finish the kitchen cupboards. We are about half way. Paul has been feeling
a little under the weather. He has a pain in his right side. Not sure it
it's appendix or muscular. We may need to find a doctor if it isn't better
tomorrow. He's been taking it easy and he says the pain comes and goes. He
doesn't want to go to hospital just yet I guess.

Otherwise things are crazy growing here. Trees finally leafed out. Its
about a week delay from down in the valley we noticed. We need to cut some
grass but no scythe yet. I will order one from Maine today I guess.

Take care.
