Cinco de Mayo and welcome wildlife

Did our city officially celebrate Cinco de Mayo? Maybe. Or maybe our trash truck driver is ill? Our whole subdivision didn't get trash pickup yesterday. The drill is: leave your trash out if its not picked up. So early this morning it was picked up.

I was surprised by something else yesterday. A couple of quail darted out from near my garage when I opened the front door early in the afternoon. I saw quail all the time a year ago in the spring, but this year no sign of them. The house had been vacant for a while, so maybe the quail liked the quiet. Thought maybe I'd scared them off for good. It's very nice to see them again.
