The weather has been hotter here. It rained a week ago, and the
periodic cicadas came out. They've started singing now, but they aren't nearly as loud as the dog-day cicadas of late summer, maybe because these are smaller. Seen at the birdfeeders this week: several house finches, a mourning dove, a lady cardinal, a gray catbird, a
house wren, a hummingbird, and a fox squirrel. I have been planting things! Lots of flowers are blooming now. Honeysuckle, white Dutch clover, alliums, blue lobelia, marigolds, petunias, million bells, snapdragons, lantana, pansies, violas, dianthus pinks, pink bergamot, yellow coreopsis, blanket flower, red salvia, moss rose, alyssum, peonies, irises, red clover, firecracker plant, pink salvia, red yarrow, double superbells, penstemon, white astilbe, pink verbena, and blue salvia are blooming. Yucca is starting to send up flower stalks, and garlic chives have buds. Wood hyacinth is done.
