An interesting spring to be sure. After a warm winter I expected that things would leap and we would be well ahead of normal. Well we are at the end of the third week of May and things are about normal. With the exception of the wind of for last several days the weather has been cool but comfortable with the advantage of keeping the black flies at bay.

Long ago I downloaded the song of the rose breasted grosbeak into one of my mobile phones. Can’t say that I remember why. As I have changed phones the recording has been transferred each time.

What could be more fun than being invited for an evening of brook trout fishing by your son. Not much that I can think of. He even knew that the hatches would be starting when we got there.

He casts well and takes much better pictures than I do. Again I am so fortunate!
