Continuing into May, not much rain to report on this week.  That did not deter the need for mowing, yard work, etc.  Flowers, Trees, Buds, Etc are still blooming.  Despite some of the cooler temps this week!  AC, Furnace, Fans, Open Windows all used this week.  Seems to be a weekly trend for now.  Increase in flies, gnats, and bees.  Birds have been increasingly loud this week with beautiful chirp melodies.  I am guessing they are building new nests as several scraps for nest building have been found in the yard.  Enjoying May, and perhaps maybe a bit of rain soon.
