A bit wintery this afternoon.  The snow from yesterday had melted but the air was cold.  Found a veritable forest of may apples on the forest floor.

Maybe other have seen this before but it was a new one on me. This is a wild strawberry plant blooming in April. Not at the end of April but we are just one day past the center of the month. The cultivated strawberries will be early, too, at this rate.

It was a trout lily kind of day. I don't think I have ever seen so many at Guppy Farm.

The trillium seem to be on hold right now..a little warm weather and they will pop.

Lots of water in the pond off of Gully Road as evidenced by the picture of the boardwalk. On the other end of the pond we saw what we thought is marks of beaver chewing on the wood. Could this be the reason for the higher water?

Forgot the camera last week when we went walking so I brought it this time. The spring beauties are blooming along with skunk cabbage and the spice bush. Things are growing at an amazing clip with all of the record warmth we have had this late winter and early spring.

After all of the birds we saw this weekend, I expected to see more than a blue jay this afternoon. Settled for the tiny leaves of honeysuckle showing their St. Patrick's Day colors.
