Not quite out here yet but one of the biggest Yoshino cherry trees in Vancouver (or anyplace) is on the street in front of my place and its buds are almost open.
The first blooms on the Magnolia kobus in the courtyard here opened yesterday. Still only a few open. May be a few days before enough are open to perfume the courtyard.
In Vancouver, the flickers have learned that the standard street light design the city uses is hollow inside with a thin stamped sheet-metal cover that resonates excellently. You almost never see flickers drumming on trees here. It is almost always streetlight covers and occasionally downspouts or stovepipes.
I had been planning to go to Texas to see the eclipse, but various aspects of chaos intervened. At least I got to see the total eclipse in 2017. With friends, in a remote area, in a five-acre meadow we had all to ourselves.
