I've just seen my first Wool Carder bee of the year! A gorgeous female, foraging on the Lamb's ear (her favourite plant) which we planted especially for her and her kind...
If you have Lamb's ear in your garden, look out for this bee from now through to August.

Three young buck grazing on grass in my front yard. They have velvet on their antlers. The one directly looking at me has raised his leg and stamped his hoof.
It's #WorldTurtleDay so we had to share a special update about Chinn Park Library's shell-ebrity: Squirt! While all libraries are closed for Memorial Day Weekend, watch him live on YouTube page: https://t.co/SCzIOkXzAr.
[VD: Squirt the turtle is moved downstairs by elevator to his new home at Chinn Park ASC Library. As his tank is set up, he explores the new space with a balloon tied around his shell that reads "Welcome Home!" He is reunited with his food and treats and then is shown swimming in the tank months later. The text overlaying the video reads: "Celebrate World Turtle Day by watching Squirtโs big move! Last fall, Squirt moved downstairs to Chinn Park ASC Library. Spoiler: we didnโt make him take the stairs. A huge thank you to Ridge Lake Animal Hospital and vet tech James who helped Squirt make the move. James also cleans Squirtโs tank every month! Back to the move! Squirt explored the new neighborhood while his staff, uh, library staff, unpacked his snacks. Shrimply amazing. Finishing touches were completed on the newly cleaned and installed tank. Swing by and visit him or watch his livestream on our YouTube channel anytime!"]

Happy World Bee Day from Polly! While Nokesville Library is closed for renovation through June 6, its mascot has been catching up on her TBR (or TBeeR) pile, prepping for our dinosaur-themed Summer Reading program! ๐
