Yesterday brought out the odd wood violets in our yard as well as a few 
bluets....lots of tiny wasps back on the heath today but none yesterday. 
Heat must slow them down. Swallows are making babies out there today and 
already the grackles and starlings have figured how to hang on the front of 
the houses. Steve is going to make faces to make the hole somewhat deeper so 
maybe necks won't reach in. We have three houses "booked" and an extra bird 
is advertising the one in the front yard. Maybe we will have another lift 
off on July 1st. Last year the barn swallows had 10 babies (cared for by 
multiple adults) lined up on the barn roof the same time as the tree 
swallows fledged. We got to see it from the BBQ next door.  All very 
exciting. Next morning all was quiet and everyone was gone.
