dandelion seed everywhere

at least you know we don't use poisons in our garden.
i think dandelions are pretty anyway.

i added a new bird to my life long checklist yesterday. it was a yellow rumped warbler. a cute little guy with very distinctive yellow bar markings.
it's so exciting to see a new bird for the first time, racing home, trying to remember all the details, and finally thrashing through the guidebook to try to identify it. the overwhelming desire for proper identification can supercede any other tasks that are pressing until the creature is located. and ultimatley, voila, there it is with it's name in black + white. joy.
