Today reached 94º.  Tomorrow will be in the 40s and 50s.  Ephemerals are just blooming or unfurling, but it feels like summer.  They must be so confused.  I found one trout lily today!

I prepped and seeded more beds today, with perennials, natives, and an herb.  I got Y’s rock garden cleaned up and ready to get some part shade wildflowers.  Every bed has little mystery seedlings coming up.  Still no sign of the woods edge natives that I planted last fall, but I still have hope.

Loucious had a lot of fun diving at the hose sprayer.  He’s obsessed!  He and I were soaked.  It turns out he’s also a fire-howler!  Fire trucks with sirens going by set him to bellowing.  It was the funniest sound.
