Lawns browned due to lack of rainfall, unless supplemental irrigation is being done. With late week rain the lawn has greened up. Peonies are flowering with some past peak. 
Continued high bird activity with Starlings, Robins, Grackles, Sparrows and Cardinals. Hatchlings are out at the seed as well with mom birds and with the dry weather, as they are feeding from the seed and suet more than usual.
