My gosh, this group has gone through almost 24 hours with no name calling! It's
so very nice and peaceful. Sure hope it stays this way for a while!

Right now there are eight American Goldfinch at the bird feeders just outside
the window. They haven't changed into their bright summer gold colors yet, but
the males are well on the way. Saw my first titmouse of the season yesterday,
the junkos have been here for a couple weeks, and the robins have already
started worm-searching in the front yard. Spring is here!

Now, only a couple weeks and the boat will be in the water. I wonder what the
stripers will be hitting this year. I hope the croaker are back in the bay. Last
year there was a big kill on the east coast, and it seemed we got none in the
bay. Usually croaker are a great way to keep kids happy and fill a cooler with
fish. Last year I caught two all season.
