The butterflies are visiting my Butterfly Weed plants that I protected all winter. Soon we will see caterpillars and the plants will be their food. That darn little yellow and black garter snake is back again. Last year he had 3 females with him. I was hoping that he had forgotten where we lived. I will aggravate him and his harem until maybe they move on to another home. The gingers are growing a little too well and the weeds have taken over every flower bed. That will teach me to make sure I mulch everything good before winter is over! And, all the red wing black birds (down here we call them rice birds) that have been eating at my sunflower seeds at the feeders all winter are gone. Now I know that they are moving up north for the summer. I learn something new every day.

Our satsuma trees are covered with flowers. I’m hoping for a lot of satsumas this fall. We give them to family, friends, and the food bank. We used to have a Meyer lemon tree but the severe freeze last year killed it.
