Garden is growing...

We've finally finished our planting, although we'll continue to add to the garden as we harvest in a month in a half. As of right now, we've got a red pepper, green pepper, chocolate mint, pole beans, tomatoes, cilantro, peas, carrots, cucumbers, spinach, green beans, watermelon, raspberries and strawberries. That's in addition to our exploding Rainier cherry, apple and apricot trees and rhubarb.
We've planted a bunch of annuals in the front yard and a bunch of sunflowers (mini and giant), fresias, ranunculas, tigridias, anemones and lillies. My guess is everything will either explode with color or our yard will go back to a "natural state" of crab grass, dandilions and noxious weeds.
But the real news of the weekend was the return of a woodpecker. You might remember that last spring there was a woodpecker who tried in vain to pierce the top of our chimney. This year his friend is back (bigger and more colorful) and has turned his attention to our cherry tree. Delaney for some reason named him "James".

Here he is in the tree.



This is a minute-long video of him, but you can get the gist of our day within the first 20 seconds...
