Come with me on a nature walk at the Fleisher preserve (Watertown, CT). It's cool in the shaded forest, and the ground is still muddy in many places. You can hear a pileated woodpecker hammering away in the distance; closer are calls of robins and warblers and the burbling brook.
Look up!
and listen.....
look down...
and all around.
Jack-in-the-pulpit,
Canada mayflower,
and ferns, uncurling into spring.
Last week I took a "nature hike" around my yard. It had just rained (2.1 inches) and a front was blowing in.
The may apples were just leafing out - they have beautiful white flowers if they don't freeze. And the fruit trees were blossoming - but it was too chilly for bees. And yet a third kind of daffodil was blooming. I love the buttery color!
I'm taking a few weeks off from Archimedes Notebook to finish a book.
But I'll be taking daily nature breaks to look at the flowers, bugs,
snails, birds, mushrooms, lichens, clouds, trees, stars, puddles, frogs.
Please join me in doing that. And if I have time, I'll post some nature
pics.
