Sunny and warm. A few tomato seedlings got planted (started from seed here on Manitoulin), more painting got done, and we cleared out the lower level in preparation for flooring installation, which is supposed to happen next week, while we are away.

Lots of warblers around (though I can't tell a warbler from a wrangler), the merlins are here, but mostly over by Tyson's, the flycatchers are back (mweep!), the woodlpecker still hammers occasionally (but in desultory fashion), and we have seen a few robins?

Still, no midges, no blackflies, no mosquitoes. If as Eliot says, April is the cruelest month, May here on the Island is rather compassionate (although we have been hoping to hear tree frogs).

On the road tomorrow.
