We took Wanda to the airport and then headed on towards Sidney for a walkabout. It was mild and cloudy and fairly windy, but nice enough for a toodle around town. Birdsong all around us. Mostly, if not entirely, finches. That's the one call I can identify automatically now. I just hope I don't lump too many other birds in with finches now.
I notice that my tulips go through a full daily bloom cycle. Tight lipstick tubes in the early morning, but they open wider than most tulips by late afternoon. They are a natural timepiece, although I suspect the sun is a better one and is driving the show anyway.
