Hi there,
What's new? Around here we have finally thrown of the bow lines of winter and are eager for all things green bright and beautiful. I've been dreaming of flowers, seeking them out and planting my containers. Although with a fresh crop of newly fledged blackbirds in the area, it's been fun and games. Well, mostly games. They have a ton of energy and fly in whenever the mood strikes them to tear my plants to pieces. So I've also planted a few more Canadian flags to scare them away. The birds will likely leave their nest soon to soar over the wilds, so I'm sure my plants will spring back and life will sail on. If not, well, there will be plants for me and some for the birds.
Did I mention I love trees? Well, probably, but to reiterate I am a tree hugger. Did you know that trees protect each other. In other words, they have each others backs/trunks. For example, if I was the tree to the far left and my neighbour to the far right was in need of water, I would ship some water over to her/him. Amazing! They parley via their root systems. So that means they definitely communicate, show empathy, and have compassion, etc. Rather like humans. Yes, Virginia it's a living, wondrous world!
And lastly, this wonder. One of many glorious old homes in the town I was visiting.
I was tempted to rap on the door and beg entry.
Look on high at the Widow's Walk/Watch. In the 19th century the lady of the house would often go up there to search the sea (in this case from the Great Lakes and then up the river) to see if her husband's ship was steaming home. In those days, unfortunately, many sailing ships were lost, hence the all to apt name.

This majestic old pine has been around awhile.
I think these are Elm trees.
I stood with my back against this one for awhile, communing with nature/ trading tall tales. :)
The highs.
The colour of spring. What a sight for sore eyes!
Wild Violets
I am pleased that people are not waging immediate war on their dandelions this year. They provide the first sup of nectar for foraging bees.
