Things I've Seen

Going to be a good year for cherry blossoms

We’ve got a few different colours going on.

This happens to be a volunteer plant – closer to the front of the yard. Maybe it tells me I didn’t pick the best spot to start with.

Apparently the new rowing season starts tomorrow. I think the first six months with the rowing machine went quite well. I may cut myself some slack over the summer – with yard activities to keep me active, but 1.5 M meters seems achievable for a full year.

Spring’s arrival has been a bit sluggish – like this butterfly having emerged from hibernation – but warmer days are here and things are starting to grow!

I’m not holding my breath for Easter crocuses.

The lilies on the windowsill behind my computer are doing their usual Spring magic

The deer are generally keeping a little further away this year, but I seemed to catch these about to cross the path.

These feather-balls show up once or twice a year. Their tracks show up all over the neighborhood. They come, poke around under the feeder for a few minutes and then abruptly depart.

So many foggy and cloudy days lately, but the sun was streaming in today and lighting up the amaryllis. All five flowers in the first stalk are open now.
