Ringing in my ears now, even since before the song was made, so thanks Billy Joe, Frank and Mike of #GreenDay : Don’t wanna be an American idiot One nation controlled by the media Information age of hysteria It’s calling out to idiot America American Idiot

Zoomed photo, but does show that we have Goldfinches at our bird feeder & they do like the sunflower & safflower kernals.

WTF U.S. citizenship difficult to prove, found out applying for an Enhanced Real ID. Passport & passcard expired. Driver’s license about to expire. Brought 2 certified birth records from hospital & state, both questioned. Minor middle name change from a marriage unclear. Now wait 3 months.

This Wild Turkey spent a morning gleaning our yard.

Micro-clover in our turf makes a beautiful carpet, all natural with just Corn Gluten for both anti-weed pre-emergent & slow-release fertilizer. You can have emerald green, I like clover green!

This little leaf branching out on our big ol' Red Maple on a rainy Spring day.

Once again, a public library book oddly dropped into our Little Free Library. Checked out from a St. Paul location, due May 27. Will return in person and inform Librarian. Coulda been lost—whatever—but mark over id tag, Really? Our little corner stand ain’t no big ol' Library! Read all the things…

Perennial columbine blooms brightly in our wildflower bed.

Our Norway Red Maple is turning from red to green, showing crimson from lessening burgundy in the sun while glowing yellow from underneath as leaves develop. Nature does such colors.
