Just a few glimpses into our backyard.
.
.
Baby chucks are nibbling at an extremely rapid rate. But I’ve discovered they like broccoli stalks so I’m hoping I can keep their teeth busy for a while.

We had a cool and wet June so the Baltimore Orioles who usually take off for colder, more northern parts when it starts to heat up are still here.
.
.
And they’re devouring the oranges and grape jelly faster than I can replace them.
.

The young males fight and squabble over the best position… but they sure are pretty.

Cow!

I love that I can say this every time I step outside instead of having to wait for a road trip.
My husband informs me that my nomenclature is incorrect as this is technically a young bull. But squealing bull! doesn’t have the same resonance… so I am compromising with Mister Cow!
This earns an eye roll and a head shake which somehow makes it even more perfect.

Here’s a giant field of lupine situated in an odd place.

Next to the local dump. Trash never looked so good…

River's world..... 
Love backyard critters!
Well, most of them.
This year we are loosing squash blossoms to rabbits.

Maine doesn’t have rabbits anymore. They keep talking about reintroducing them but it never seems to work…

Is that a neighborhood Cow? Maybe you should get it’s name. I wonder if their Moo means “Human” when they see us.

It’s the neighbors. Their daughter is raising it for a class but they’re going to keep him. His name is S’more.

I bet all the woodchucks, orioles, and mister cows are very glad the noisy driveway work is finished.

With all the gender insanity and concomitant wiping of history today, perhaps “bovine!” will prevent any sense of insult among the cows.

Maybe you should take the chucks to the dump for a snack.

We finally bought an oriole feeder and grape jelly, but alas, it might be too hot for them now.

You have to put that baby out in early spring. If they don’t find what they’re looking for they move on.
