apple blossoms and lilacs



The daffodils were wonderful and are just starting to fade, the apple trees filled with blossoms, followed closely by bumblebees and butterflies. Now the lilacs are filling the air with sweet perfume...and more bees and butterflies. I saw a swallowtail butterfly today. The sunflower seed feeder hada purple finch visiting. Yesterday I saw a grosbeak. It was yellow and black so I looked it up. Evening grosbeak. Tried to get a picture through the window, not too good. It flew when I went outside to try to get it. No luck with the goldfinches either. We've been visited by a flicker also! Fun. The forget-me-nots are all along the driveway. I am so happy to see flowers! I hope it's not going to be as cold and rainy as last summer.
