Gwen's Kernels of Wisdom

Don built a broom puller for me. Today I pulled over 500 broom plants. Earth first; I'll start on the other planets later.

the Evening Grosbeaks are back!

Seen occasionally at our place, they made a brief appearance a couple of weeks ago.  Yesterday two pairs came for the day.  The photos aren't great, but they were taken with my iPhone through my kitchen window.

Parade Reminder

We have only one month to go before the May 19th parade. Last year we had only 9 entrants and very few spectators. If we all get the lead out this could be a huge success. Tell your friends and neighbours. Plan a float.
