That's right - 27 days of rain in May, and rain every day so far in June. Vermont is as green as it can be which is fine unless you want to do something outside. Yesterday we did find a little morning sun to walk in the forest for a welcome change. Most of the wildflowers have finished blooming but the ferns are still filling out, and we were pleased that the trails weren't as wet as they might have been. Nearing the parking area, we heard the distinct sound of a woodpecker on metal. There is very little metal in the forest, naturally, so we had to stop and find out what it was. Samantha took a short video, but also this photo:
It was such a distinctive looking woodpecker that Samantha used her phone app to find out what type it was. While she was looking, I jokingly said, "a yellow bellied sapsucker," and it really was!
It did rain later in the day, so I dove into the latest Elly Griffiths mystery,
The Chalk Pit, her ninth featuring archaeologist Ruth Galloway. Earlier, I finished putting together a bookshelf for the row-by-row robin I'll be participating in later this year. It was easy - why haven't I made one of these quilts before?

sorry for so much rain, I hate it when it rains so much you feel like you can not do anything outside other than wear a rain jacket - I like the sunshine!
