This has been the wettest June in NY since the weather bureau started to keep records of the weather. I keep thinking about the deforestation of the rain forests. It changes the pattern of the principal air currents and causes all sorts of unpredictable variations in weather and climate. Enough already, I want sun and warm weather. This is June for goodness sakes
Any way, the birds are doing their best to cheer me up. So far we have seen purple finches, cardinals, blue jays, mockingbirds,crows, redtailed hawks and even one lovely meadow lark. The purple finch is red not purple. They look like and are about the size of a large sparow with red heads, necks, and backs. A family has taken residence near our bedroom window and wake me every day. I love the purple finch, it sings me awake every day. The song is lovely and it is sung just around the time we wake up anyway.
Next week is the last week of school that means lots more time with the grandkids. Love it.
