Spring Flowers

Birds and Cherry Trees

We love our cherry trees!  Last year we were able to freeze many batches of cherries.  This year, it is another situation, the birds have eaten all the cherries off the tree in a matter of days.  We put foil in the trees to ward them off, apparently, the birds laugh at that.  

Next year, we were recommended to have bird seed feeders with bells to entice the birds with. The cherries we did get were delicious! 

Snails migrating on lawn

Awhile back after a rain there were many snails on the lawn going from one spot to another.  I have no idea where or why but found it interesting.  I think one about snails that can be bothersome is accidentally stepping on them.  That is not fun.  Crunch.

Riverview Restaurant on the Sacramento River, Anderson

Are you looking for a new restaurant to test out this weekend?

In the beginning of June we had a lovely brunch out at the Riverview Restaurant.  Located right on the the Sacramento river, and not your average restaurant.  They are open for special events, and you can also book the restaurant and patio for your event, weddings for instance.  

They are open for brunch every Sunday.  It was a gorgeous spring like day, and lunch was fabulous.  The food was good, the service great, and the view, well, let's just say, you should go and see for yourself.  Make a reservation and tell them you want a river view.

Flowers and Bees

These lovely yellow flowers are enjoyed by the bees.

On another topic an insect related to bees is the hornet.  Not as friendly as the bee.  Luckily though there are no pictures of hornets. Only this book, which I am currently reading.  The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest by Stieg Larsson.  It is the last book of a trilogy and very good.

Thanks to Hans!
