Returned home late afternoon to find the back yard full of bluebirds.

A badly planned drive to Reems Creek involved me in what probably is the last major planting of spring: white hostas, ferns, a red rose and a rusty orange one, comfrey, toad lilies, more Venus flytraps, more pitcherplants, swamp iris, dicentra. Though rain is forecast, I watered everything, the newer ones looked so peaked.

Supposed to meet with JD, but his departure time from Raleigh keeps getting changed. He blames it on the baby.
