Believe me, I’m not going to complain about the 85 degree weather we had today. Not after that winter we just had. Things are growing fast in the backyard, mostly the grass (and weeds). We finally got the garden in this weekend and we’ll see what can make it up before the squirrels excavate. For some reason they like to dig in freshly turned dirt. This is what things look like in the backyard.

\"We<\/a>

We accept and embrace the wild, un-manicured look. Especially in the far corners of the yard.<\/p><\/div>

\"Last<\/a>

Last year we added an herb garden near the deck. We planted a couple strawberry plants in it this year to go along with the tarragon, sage, thyme and dill. I’m sure the chipmunks will enjoy them.<\/p><\/div>

\"Looks<\/a>

Looks like a nice place to sit, doesn’t it?<\/p><\/div>

\"We<\/a>

We put up a wren house this year and have a couple considering residence.<\/p><\/div>

\"After<\/a>

After it passed inspection, they started moving in. They worked hard all day sunday getting twigs through the 1.5 inch hole.<\/p><\/div>

\"The<\/a>

The garden is in and we’ll see what comes up.<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n

Now some pictures from a weekend walk and my lunch time walk today.
