Reading Pierre's Berton's 50 books...

I've read 36 so far...14 to go.  Pictured at left is the fourth book in his grand history of the Canadian west.   The four books in this series are by far the best of the 36 read so far, in my opinion.   I now know a history of Canada I never knew before.   Getting the last 14 of the 50 books is getting tough.

First juvenile Starling...

The photo above shows a juvenile Starling in our backyard.   My wife and I have never noticed one before ... ever ... anywhere.   It was very insistent on being fed by its parents, even though is was the same size as them.

Finally...the Flowering Crabapple has bloomed.  It seems late...but worth the wait.   When this tree blooms,  it is the highlight of the season for us.
