Loring News for May 21, 2017

Gosh, the summer vacation has offcially started! I'm working at the Great Plains Dinosaur Museum in Malta a few days a week which is always interesting!

Talk about fascinating, the moon, Venus and Mercury are lovely in the early morning, just before sunrise if you are up for a peek to the east!

The king birds, goldfinches, and brown thrashers are adding some color to our vistas! But the most shocking is the oriole! They are so orange it's like seeing a flying orange in the trees!

The butterflies hatched! They were beautiful painted ladies! I let eight go at Cindy Clark's since she has some blossoms! When I got home one more had hatched.

Congrats to Deedee Johannesen and Rennay Watkins on their graduation this week! Best wishes for the future!

The countryside is so green, let's remember to keep our garbage where it belongs, not on the road ways! I spotted some blue flax blooming in the barrow pits on the way to Malta!
