Wow, here it is almost mid-June. My great cantaloupe experiment failed. I somehow thought that I was a big success having two cantaloupe seeds germinate from the dozen I planted indoors. Within a few days of planting them outdoors, one was dead - the other one gave up the ghost last week -- so much for thoughts of cantaloupe for the neighbors. Four tomato plants still hanging on. Planted the three free trees I got on Arbor Day - flowering crab apples.

There was the banding on 6/2 of three falcon chicks here at Mayo. This little guy seems to have a "get outta my face attitude" - or more likely, I didn't have the camera setting right.
