miscellaneous

it's been raining for the last few days.  it's the type of rain that people enjoy and feel soothed by; slow and gentle.  great weather for sitting on the porch, sipping tea and soaking in the beauty of the earth; especially this time of year when the world becomes colorful.

the strawberries are blooming!  there will soon be fruit!

no hummingbird sightings as yet.  and certainly no baltimore orioles.  but the gold finches are now bright yellow and ever present.  and such a variety of birds munching at the feeders; including one of my favorites, red winged blackbird.

trees in bloom: dogwood, redbud, hawthorne.

wildflowers:  spring beauties, may apples and many others i can't identify by name but enjoy so much when they appear.

the grass was cut.  the scent of freshly cut grass is heady.  of all the wildflowers that were growing in the grass, only the dandelions remain.

if  you have something to share with the whimsey project, a photo, an idea for whimsical wednesday, email the whimsey project at thewhimseyproject@gmail.com.
