The winds have returned to normal and we are enjoying beautiful fluffy clouds and low humidity. The weeds are keeping me busy around the house.
Around the valley, farmers continue to harvest the wheat and burn fields. Crows and other birds are content to follow the machines and gleen whatever has not been consumed by the harvester.
The cool spring seems to have deterred the caterpillars from attacking the spruce tree. This is the first year I can recall that the tree has not been ravaged by the critters. Of course, the cool weather has delayed some of the other plants, such as the marion berries. I usually have a big crop by now but they are just beginning to ripen, and quite unevenly at that. They aren't particularly tasty this year...kind of a disappointment.
