Flower buttercup 2

Victim of the dreaded lawnmower… There were several bulbous buttercups scattered on the road. They thought the lawnmower was bad. Wait until they encounter automobile tires…

The sun continues its northward journey, wishing us a peaceful good night as it peeks  through a lacy white mulberry finally in flower!

Spring pink that looks like fall!

Tree maple seeds

Who thinks of dried seed heads falling and covering the ground in the spring? The red maple tree provides its own version of autumn leaves but wearing unique pink colors that could only be found in the spring.

Wild mustard is a wonderful spring wild edible. If you’re lucky, you’ll see fields of it in bloom!

Future wild cherries

tree wild cherry

Depending on the interest of our local bird population I hope to be able to follow the development of these tiny wild cherries and show you how they grow. They are very edible. Once upon a time I was famous for my wild cherry jelly.
