It seemed like a fall day today - cold and windy. More great clouds though.

 Today we had some much needed rain, and it looks like more is on the way.

 Forgot to take a May home photo, so this will have to do.

The sweetest hen.

 

 

Today I participated in the Global Running Day Challenge, and ran 5km for the first time in a while (with Apple Fitness on my watch I get a virtual "award").

All the weather this evening.

 

 There is a large muskrat living in the pond (it was very smoky this morning).

 Still geese flying north.

 The garden is all planted!

 Smoke from forest fires made for a red sunrise (state of emergency for our province due to all the forest fires).

 Hive check day - honey production is in full swing.

These Amur Maple trees are in full bloom, smell lovely, and just humming with bees.

 No rain in the forecast, but it looks like it is raining in places.

 Barn Swallows are making a nest above this window and it is very exciting for the cats (tails whipping).

 It looks like canola growing in the field around our house - great for the bees!

 Miss Maggie likes to check if there are any birds in the house - there aren't.

 My son had to pick something up from his workplace this evening, and I went along for the ride.

 Planting time!

 GingerSnap!!

We have never seen so many blossoms on this apple tree - we are more surprised that the strong winds haven't blown them all away, hopefully it didn't keep the bees away.
