OK, next post. Little things: yesterday, I heard my first cricket of the season. I heard it at night, under the strawberry moon, and then the next morning, during my sit spot. But today, I didn't hear it. It was just one, so maybe it's gone somewhere else. There was some other kind of buzzing insect though, that had replaced it. Not sure what it is. Katydid? Something to investigate.
The squirrel in the ornamental pear tree (the one that had a huge branch fall on our shed during a heavy winter snow storm, two years ago? I think.) started chittering at me like mad when I came out today. Not sue why, he hadn't done that to me in a long time. Did I do something different? Was something different for him? I've started doing a little weeding at the end of my sit spot, for Suzannah's sake. We have some rock garden areas, that are getting taken over by weeds, so I'm pulling out most of them, and then some others, including maple seeds that are growing from between the wood planks that make up the back porch. I assume if I let those grow they would end up breaking apart the porch, so I probably shouldn't do that. Otherwise I'd want to keep them though, they're beautiful as little vibrant green seedlings poking through the cracks. It's amazing what a huge quantity of helicopter seeds has fallen all over our yard. The big old silver maple was prolific this year.
OK, that seems good for another little post. I think I'll keep going with at least one more.
