We spent some time this weekend at our place in Pennsy/Lackawanna County. Nature is always lagging ca 10 days behind NJ, but even this Tundra is slowly starting to wake up!
The very first blooms of the season are always Colt's Foot and sure enough the yellow blooms lined the walkway.
The Claytonias started to show their delicate flowers
The tips of Mayapples are breaking through the soil
And some small Trilliums started to show buds
Our fish in the pond came forwards, wanting to be fed
and something has been raiding the numerous mussel beds around the pond
We took a walk along the path through the woods and I also checked up on things inside the forest. We need to take the machete along next time to clear some of our "blue-dot trails"
When we bought the place more than 30 years ago, it came with some old cars, left in the woods. We simply left them and always used them as markers, ( "walk past the cars and make a left at the high stand... :smily:" ) and they are slowly decaying and sinking away. Here is Klaus pretending to be McGyver.
