I'm still not good identifying them but Paul said he saw a yellow bird so may have been a Canada warbler. I'll keep an eye out for it while I'm planting our tomatoes in the garden today. So far we are growing a lot of weeds and ticks. Haha. We have found lots of ticks. I even found one on me at work climbing up my chest. It was definitely a black legged tick. I ran into the bathroom and whipped off all my clothes and inspected. The little bugger was hiding in my black shirt. I'm detemined to wear only light clothing from now on. I got some of that spray but now from the nature ns list I see it is practically useless. Haha. Bug nets seem to work the best for black flies. You are really zooming through that painting. We have still not managed to finish the kitchen cupboards. We are about half way. Paul has been feeling a little under the weather. He has a pain in his right side. Not sure it it's appendix or muscular. We may need to find a doctor if it isn't better tomorrow. He's been taking it easy and he says the pain comes and goes. He doesn't want to go to hospital just yet I guess. Otherwise things are crazy growing here. Trees finally leafed out. Its about a week delay from down in the valley we noticed. We need to cut some grass but no scythe yet. I will order one from Maine today I guess. Take care.
