birds and bees

josh and i got some bird feeders about a month ago, and have since been seeing all kinds of birds coming to the feeders.
mostly finches, doves, and sparrows, but we've also had a pair of cardinals
and an unknown blue bird (i've been told it's a blue finch).

the bees have been going crazy on all the blossoms. when i was walking past the crab apple tree i could hear them buzzing. this one has her pollen baskets full.

yesterday josh found these by the playground. i think there are 8, but are hard to count. they are cute now, but i know they will just grow up to eat my raspberries. josh thinks we should let the barn cats find them.
