the "gold" has returned to the gold finches. they are so pretty. several have been visiting the two finch feeders; counted eight (there are 12 feeding perches) at one feeding session.
the strawberry patch has received it's spring cleaning. berries are ripening! soon there will be berry munching!
the meadow has been shorn (it needs to be cut at least every other year to keep it healthy and the natural foliage fresh). the bunnies and nesting hen turkey aren't very happy but the vegetation will return. it disconcerts me as well since full, lush tall grasses and wildflowers are preferred to crew cut green.
before the meadow was cut, the dogs and i took a stroll. for me the mission was to pick wildflowers. for the dogs it was playtime. the sweetest looking butterflies were spied resting on the yellow blossoms i was picking. the butterflies were small and shaded with a subtle lavender gray color. they reminded me of a seashell i once encountered.
