I stayed home from my weekly stamp meetup but had a fun outdoor day nonetheless. The skies are clearing and I took advantage of a calmer day to seed a few veggies. Two small rows of carrots and two of lettuce. Although I might be trampling the carrots with pea seeds soon. It all depends how long the broccoli plant stays around.
In the afternoon, I went for a walk around Cook Street and home through Beacon Hill Park. Much has changed in a week. The lawns are full of wild daisies, the peonies are up two feet above ground already, and the flower beds are filling in nicely. I lingered on a sunny bench to read a bit and soak in some rays. Truly lovely.
As I left the park, I spotted a hummingbird beside the path that stuck around for a good 10 minutes, hovering beside a rhododendron bush, then to a nearby tree, and back again. I've not seen one stick around for that long before. The sight of a tiny hummingbird so close to the great blue herons in their nests make for quite the contrast!
gotta enjoy them before they get the mowers out
smart supports which were added very early
love the composition of the three trees
I've been waiting for this bush to bloom for weeks
