WTF Is It Now?!?

It's raining AGAIN. It rained yesterday, and will continue through Sunday. We've had one-and-a half sunny-but-cool days since the weekend, where I managed not only to get some yard work done, but to get poison ivy. I could've sworn that vine was virginia creeper...

Stuff

The box turtle was spotted, happily munching worms in the garden compost heap.

The baby chipmunks are making their first ventures into the wild - only to be caught and eaten by the stray cats. :(

The deer have been draining the birdbath dry just about every night.

Saw our first hummingbird, but since the bear destroyed the feeder, it'll probably be the last.

No fireflies yet.

The peas are finally flowering, and we have one green tomato.

Did I mention it's raining?




Link updates
It's that time again. We'll be removing the sites that seem to have died or are going on extended hiatus - we'll miss William Burton and George at High Water and will gladly relink them if they return. Sadly, also, It's A Moo Point is coming off, because it's always unavailable.

On a happier note, please welcome blunted on reality, Very Very Happy, and History News Network!

Sad campaign news from James Capozzola.

Great essay here. I wish I could write like that.

A huge thank you to Technorati for rating WTF as one of the Top 50 Interesting Newcomers, and to daintily dirty and The Rittenhouse Review for the kind mentions!
