Buds & blooms


While we are back in the coolish weather, the buds are doing their thing! This is the horse chestnut tree:


lilacs





The trillium are in bloom in the forest. Tulips and Grecian windflowers are in bloom.

More good news, the lily bugs are awake. I shall have to dig out my bug collector.

The Forsythia is at its peak.



The pileated woodpecker is doing a number on the tree. I haven't noticed it but I have heard it.




Aster and a beginner's driver's licence! She drove part way home!

    I am not sure why the Lily bug is collectible. But I love seeing your buns and blossoms – congrats to the new driver.!
