Activity around the bird house finally. I'd seen a bird or two
picking off the raspberries but today saw the song sparrows for the
first time in a long time. I thought they may have abandoned the
birdhouse/nest. I have no idea if they have any babies.

Saw a yellow bellied woodpecker picking bugs out of the post the bird
house is supported by at the same time.

Also saw three birds with white markings on their backs fly up as I
drove out. Would have been nice to get pictures of them. Not sure
what they were.

I now have ants in the bathroom. Large black ants. I had small ones
up til now in both the bathroom and the kitchen but they seem to have
disappeared. (I am almost ready to put food out in the kitchen
again.) I am escorting them outside. Do they make their way back in?
They area crawling over baking soda so hopefully that will discourage
them.

Lots of unknown plants but I'll only post one now. A blue flower is
coming out of the tip of this one. Wonder what it is. (Is this comfrey?) These plants
were taken out of the pots where other plants are dominating. I'm
calling them strays.
