pressure washing the roof.

Camas beyond its prime - the quintessential Gulf Islands flower.

Judy pulled out a weed with a root this long.

This House Wren built a nest in this large birdhouse, which was
sized for a Flicker. But then it was evicted by a larger bird,
a Swallow.  -  Never mind, the House Wren moved over the another box,
which was the right size and carried on with nest building.
We now see a pair using the box.

A male Violet Green Swallow. After evicting the House Wren,
the swallows moved in and modified the nest to their liking.

American Gold Finches have started to show up at the feeder.
