What a difference from last year !! The rivers are running good right now. Everything is green and this cool wet weather looks to continue for another 2 weeks; sometimes Severe. Saw a Summer Tanager in this morning’s clouds and mist; here he is in all his rosey splendor. He was feasting on mulberries even though the are green yet:
In this map from 8 AM today the orange and red represent 2-4 inches of rain; the purple – 5 or more inches.

Glad to hear your immediate area suffered no severe damage over the past several days.
Also wanted to tell you I saw my first pair of summer tanagers a couple of days ago — very exciting! (I’m kind of a bird geek, lol!) And, if it weren’t for your blog, I wouldn’t have known what they were — so thanks!
Oh yes. Trish, They are just beautiful. I saw a few more over this past weekend but did not get an y photos. Steve
We also got to see our first Tanagers , while visiting our cabin in Winslow, Ar. . Your close-up is just beautiful. Arkansas is a Magical Place ! We are counting the days till we can call it home .
