Day 149 - 29th May 2015 - Solitary Sandpipers, Wild Violets, Belted Kingfisher and Grandmother's Journal

Friday - another work week ends. Thick fog this morning, temperature is +12. Song Sparrows, Hermit Thrush and Mourning Dove are the sounds of morning. Maybe today I'll get a few things finished.
Thursday came and went. Did summer student interviews yesterday, will contact our choice today.  think we've made a good decision and look forward to a productive summer. Exercise class last night, thank goodness for Lois who prods me nights I don't feel like going. Although my knees will not thank her, it was a good work out.
Grandmother's Journal:
29 May 1976: Beautiful day, nice breeze, no flies - too much wind. I cooked, worked in the house. Planted a row of peas again. Cleaned up the grape vines down by the garden in the long fill. No company today. Got a lot of work done today. Couldn't see the new moon tonight. Birds busy - lots of songs. Love to be outside to hear them. 
30 May 1976: Beautiful day as the day goes along. Cloud came in, nice breeze to keep flies away. Bobbie, Bettie, Boys up for a short while this afternoon. Warners over for a visit and talking about light plant for lights etc. Planted carrots, a few beets. Rain showers before dusk. Kiacks being dipped. Many running today - can almost dip with your hands. 

The pair of Solitary Sandpipers have returned, one flew off before I took the photo. Will be nice to see the little ones again this year.

Bushes are blooming in neighbour's yards. This one has brilliant colors.

Wild Violets along the ground, small and pretty.

Every few days there is a new wildflower in bloom. Soon the Lady Slippers will be out.

Along the edge of the lake -  a mass of pink Rhodora.

My nemesis the Belted Kingfisher, who chuckles as he flies by me.










Enjoy your day!
