OWAV:)...06/18/11...6am...50°...Sun/Clouds

Much warmer overnight but today brings less sunshine and the threat of rain...As I drove in our driveway yesterday the overwhelming scent of lilac's filled the air...finally blooming by the middle of June...Most years, they, along with the peonies bloomed in time for Memorial Day.

We have a wren building her nest in one of our birdhouses, Rusty watched yesterday, as first she spent the morning cleaning the birdhouse and the afternoon carrying in new materials...then she starts this years cycle of laying, hatching and feeding her new babies, until finally she coaxes them out of the nest and lets them fly away...We enjoy listening to her song as she performs this ritual.

John, Becky and Pam joined us for a dinner last night as Rusty showed us how he uses chopsticks (no forks allowed) to eat meatballs and rice with peanut sauce and pot stickers dipped in soy sauce...Also the sounds of slurping noodle soup filled the room as we snagged noodles and vegetables floating in a bowl of broth, then tipped the bowl and drank what was left...Beer and wine were the drinks of choice, no sake for us... ~OWAV:)
