Echo and I were out and about yesterday afternoon (after my little conniption-fit in the AM), enjoying the sunshine, bird calls and tiny signs of life in the woods. We found:
Wild daffodils--------
Tiny white flowers----------
Blackberries leafing out-----
Lavender wildflowers& wild violets----------
And this huge escaped prisoner, presumably from The Little Shop of Horrors----
That's a BIG bud of something, about to bloom--You don't suppose it's carnivorous, do you? It's about 2 inches in diameter still closed, and now I'm itching to see what it turns out to be! The redbud and dogwood trees are starting to speckle the hillsides, and yes, the bugs are back.
Insect life is a low, audible thrum out in the forest, so it's time to begin spraying on insect repellent before our walks.
As we tromp up the mountainside getting our aerobic workout and discovering the new, greener world, I can also hear Beethoven's 6th in my heartbeat.
Spring!
