My yard

Today I saw the wildflowers in my yard(below). They are blooming even more, both in color and quantity. Also, I'm seeing more and more chipmunks and squirrels and chipmunks. I've even seen a few bunnies. Next, we're having to mow the lawn more because the grass is growing faster and fuller. Finally, there inch worms hanging everywhere,not crawling around anymore.

Then, we got a picture of the eggs(also below).On 5-16-10, my family and I ate lunch in front of the hatshell, and listened to high school jazz bands.Reading's jazz band performed as well. While we were listening, my dad and I played catch with a tennis ball and a frisbee.

9th Sign of Spring

5-2-10
Street

I saw a bird's nest!(below) I think its a oriole's naest, but it didin't have anything in it, so it might not even be a nest. We all think it is, though. Also, I saw a growing acorn(below). It looks really cool because it gas a root comming out of it and its shell is cracked.Another thing, I'm seeing new pinecones. They are smaller than regular ones, light brown, and aren't sticky.
