Things I've Seen

The undergrowth is showing some nice colours

There are a few reasonable clusters of grapes this year. Honestly hard to know given how dense the foliage is. I think some of the birds have realized they are there.

One of this year’s additions to the front yard. Blooming in their first year and untroubled by the bunny that is hanging out in the area, so looking good so far.

The purple prairie clover are exploding

Each year it seems like a different wildflower is booming. This is the year for Lady Slippers.

I’ve seen this previously with berries – never in flower. It is apparently one of 3 native Manitoba honeysuckle varieties.

That’s 1000 days of hitting my 6000 steps per day goal. 🚶

The red are starting to bloom now

The blueberry bushes are blooming – hopefully we get a berry or two

Several purple and yellow violets in the forest this year – I’m not sure I’ve seen these previously.
