It’s a blue and green world. Blue skies at dawn make it easy to step outside and follow the dog path out to the garden. Takuma and Ena have carved their paths to the garden, out to the pasture, through the woods, and on to their favorite hunting grounds.

Daisy’s chicks are nearly three weeks old. Too large now to all hide underneath her, when they cluster around and under her, it’s hard to tell where she ends and where they start.

Blue skies, warm days say good bye to the last of the cherries, say hello to the first of the tulips.
