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.

 Sunset on another very windy day.

 The field across the street is growing well.

 Apple trees blooming.

 We lost our seats.

Sunrise.

 Best friends.

 6 am and the cats are waiting for breakfast (Miss Maggie is always outside at night, but GingerSnap! has just started - they each have house in the garage).

 6 am walk. 35ºC today.

 The plum trees have started to bloom (they smell so nice).

 Thunderstorms in the distance, we could do with some rain (sunset).

 Smoke haze at sunrise because of forest fires up north.

Killdeer guarding her nest (two creme and brown eggs on the other side of her), well camouflaged, right in the middle of the path - luckily they are loud birds.

 Big girl!

 Looking for a queens in the hives today. All four hives have eggs and larvae, and all looked good.

 GingerSnap! came in from outside and flopped on the cool floor - sunny and almost 30ºC outside today.

The three types of chickens (Dot - the red one with her mouth open, is the biggest hen in the flock - she is also the most aggressive towards us, but not to the other hens).

 Miss Maggie keeping an eye on "her babies".

 This Grackle hit the window this morning, but with a bit of TLC and time he was able to fly away.

 Molly was hoping for a ride in the truck.
