Wonderful!

Have a robins nest in a hanging pot of geraniums that I nursed through the winter in the garage. Two days after I hung it on the pergola it had a perfect nest in it, and the next time I looked 3 beautiful blue eggs. I thought there were only 3 nestlings (which now have their feathers and are exercising their wings) but today I looked at a different angle and saw 5. They are about 10 feet from my window by the computer so I watch the busy parents a lot. I love the violets. They are always my favorites in the spring and I get angry when people call them weeds and try to get rid of them. Happy Mothers Day!

With all the rain buds are beginning to bloom. Hope this cold spell doesn’t kill the buds. Happy mother’s day, April. Welcome back to the ridge.

I thought I would add a little piece of info…my ex stepdaughter is newly living in Minnesota and has been posting snows on her FB page…still posting as of May 3, and had posted many in April. In 34 years of living there I never saw that much snow in April, much less in May. Perhaps one time in May in all that time.
I’ve come to a personal conclusion about climate change that incorporates long distance vision. Yes, we homo sapiens animals are causing changes by destroying the balances and sources of our oxygen cycle. We desperately need global agreement and not global posturing to correct it. However, that being said, where I live used to be covered by a glacier. I understand that over the millions of years this planet has existed, that glaciers come and go. I am a fatalist, they will come again. Maybe this species will be trying to upset the balance in the galaxy by then.

Too bad that such intriguing looking creatures are able to create so much havoc. I pledge that we will get rid of some wood piles which could harbor the beetle offspring- especially since we never make wood fires during our stays at the cottage. Thank you, April, for this and all of your postings.

Andy (and you) are doing well to make this information known! After reading much convincing scientific information I have gone through the mental process needed to ready myself for direct action to stop what cannot be stopped with our usual social and political processes. If you do not mind, I would like to provide some good sources of information here for other interested people. Thanks again for sharing your husband’s writings!
