Wobbly Legs and All

Shakerag Hollow is blooming, despite recent snow and ice and endless fog. Nature's first green is not always golden: witness the harbingers of spring!

It's remarkable how quickly my sullen mood turns joyful on the appearance of the Mourning Cloak and tiny wildflowers pushing up through winter's chaos of leaf litter.

An early stroll is well worth the wobbly legs and all!

Let the Rumpus Begin!

Shakerag's spring has sprung! One Question Mark and one Mourning Cloak butterfly flitting and lighting, numerous no-see-ums stirring the leaf litter, and wildflowers poking up everywhere!

The Day Before Spring Begins

Lake Cheston's red maples blossom,

Shakerag's wildflowers start unroll their carpet,

and Lake Ridyard sings.

What a good day, from beginning to end.
