Temperatures closer to normal last week and windy with the intensity varying some each day but some wind everyday. A weather system moved through Monday evening and Tuesday with some light rain early Tuesday morning. Only .01 inches fell which was the total for the week. High temperatures were in the 60's everyday except Tuesday when the high was 58°. The high of the week was 68° on Saturday. A couple of freezing mornings with lows ranging from 27° on Wednesday to 46° on Friday. As seen in the photo, trees have leaves and grasses and plants are growing but everything is pretty dry. In the garden, the clematis is now blooming. Saw the first garter snake of the year on the rocks next to the pond. Also, saw a rabbit on my morning walk. Many birds are frequenting the yard and bathing in the bird bath and fountain. Saw the first black birds this year.
