I like how tree frogs just tuck their legs underneath themselves.  From the top, they look like an oval.

The garlic is growing well.  I tied some shiny mylar strips to them as those might scare the bunnies... maybe.  They already ate some of the lettuce I had growing there.

We've got bird nests everywhere this year.  These ones are robins.  They look like little dinosaurs.

We bought a bluebird house and put it up.  Within two days it was claimed by this, which is a tree swallow.  I did not even know they existed.  They're pretty and eat bugs, so I don't mind.

Of course, as soon as I plant some of the garden we get a frost warning.  We covered the plants and blueberry bushes.

I could still find six baby bunnies in the yard.

This is the first time I've ever seen a wild rabbit feeding her babies.  There's seven of them.  Two ended up with their feet in the air.  After a bit, she just took off.

My son invited us to watch his final presentation at school.  It is the class where students make an invention.  His group made an automated soda can crusher.  It was interesting to see what each group made.
