Robins and a cardinal were singing when I went outside this morning at 5:53 (EST). The afternoon was warm and sunny; we cleaned up the pond, at least 50 fingerlings counted, then we planted a pair of bittersweet vines, three larkspur plants, three salvias, three veronica and a catmint. Noticed that our Virginia bluebells have buds. The first carpenter been seen in the middle of the afternoon checking out the siding.
