The weather has been mild and dry here. Seen at the birdfeeders this week: a small flock of mourning doves, several house finches, several sparrows, and a pair of cardinals. Currently blooming: violas, petunias, pinks, marigolds, lantana, torenia, million bells, moss rose, firecracker plant, salvia, nasturtiums, gaillardia, clover, morning glories, butterfly weed, blackberry lilies, cup plant, yellow coneflower, bergamot, gladioli, partridge pea, red yarrow, coreopsis, Queen Anne's lace, thistle, naked lady lilies, and a bunch of other things. Crabapples and apples have green fruit.
