I'm glad to hear that, Dot.  What kind of fruit trees?  Apples?
I've planted quite a few fruit trees - I have 2 kinds of Tart Cherries, 4 kinds of Apples, and 4 kinds of Pears.  :)
There was a little girl,
            Who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
            When she was good,
            She was very good indeed,
But when she was bad she was horrid.

I had a visit from an old friend yesterday.  This guy (or Gal?) seems to stop by once or twice around this time of the year.  Thankfully I had my camera on me at the time.  From what I can ascertain, this is a Western Acorn Woodpecker though the description says that they have red heads and I don't see one on this bird.

I love woodpeckers. I had a pileated woodpecker in my yard the other day. I thought I snapped a picture but can’t find it.

Looked just like this

Just had a nice thunder shower and then the sun broke out, so I took some pictures of my mock orange blossoms, glistening with rain drops.

LOVE mock orange! I can imagine smelling them from here. Beautiful!

Nope, no thrushes.  But at the start of the recording a mourning dove can be heard and I've got lots of those.  (I can hear one right now as I'm typing out your reply.)    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mourning_dove
I have always enjoyed the music of Paul Winter.  He has played his flute inside the great pyramid, has performed for whales and wolves.  Fun music to listen to.
