The hummingbird feeders went up today.

If the backyard looks like paradise, thanks is due mostly to the wood hyacinths. I am reconciled to the new dogwood, which, if not pink, has huge blossoms of milk white, with a tint of green so subtle it might be te reflection of the trees.

Allowed my snotty cold to keep me home from church, and spent the time writing and finishing the planting of the last few days, which includes zucchini, kale, marigolds. Much weeding and digging up of turf. Lasting war on the wild clematis.

Took The Falls of the Wyona out of moth balls, and am working in joy upon it.
