My favorite irises are about to bloom. The Siberian Iris.

The first clematis blossom opened this week. The plant died back quite a bit after our record cold winter. It only has a handful of buds this year.

I spotted our friend “Chippy” filling up his cheeks under our neighbor’s bird feeder a few nights ago.

We see deer in our yard every day now. Sometimes twice or three times a day. The deer repellent has kept them away from my Asiatic lilies until a couple of days ago. They ate all but two buds. 😦
The fog moved out this morning and we actually had an 80 degree day with peeks of sunshine. We are hoping for another warm day tomorrow. Fingers crossed.
