A Beautiful Sunny Day!

Incredible! Two sunny, warm days in a row! We might even make it to four or five days of sun. The berry bushes are blooming along the creek. I love their white flowers and light scent. I have also saw them along the edges of roads and fields yesterday. There were several cute, brown, goat kids gamboling in one of the pastures. I even caught a glimpse of a bluebird. Three deer were munching on the corn shoots. There were a lot of woodchucks out sunning themselves and eating bulbs. Roses and tiger lilies have blossomed. The sparrow fledglings are starting to exercise their wings. The cats are blissed out in sun puddles. The grocery store had strawberry rhubarb pies for sale in the bakery section. I bought half of one. Delicious! I got a small package of the Raspberry Dark Chocolate M&M’s to try. Very good. I made a batch of Calico Chili this morning. It has three kinds of beans. It is quick and easy to prepare. It is very tasty. Emily
