Later in the day hubby took advantage of some smooth air to get off the ground for a short hop around the patch before the sunset. Clouds had moved in to set the stage for future moisture.
It has been a wonderful day with forays into the timber to see what flora is erupting with the warmer temperatures.
Time lapse photography would have been fun today. The Mayapples are erupting swiftly from the ground. It won't be long until they are blooming,an indicator for us to be looking for the coveted Morel Mushroom.
Gooseberry,Wild Raspberry, Honeysuckle and Multi-flora rosebrush are among the plants
putting on new leaves preparing for fruiting blooms.
The Wild Honeybees have been awake and buzzing for almost three weeks. They would invite themselves into the house when I opened the back door during some of the cold snaps. It didn't take them long to find there wasn't anything they needed andwould head back out the other direction.
It wasn't very long ago there were cooler temps. I was wondering if it would ever end.
True Spring has arrived at Timber Life and the hope to see new life begins anew.
Hope things are improving in your neck of the woods too! ;)
It does feel good that spring is finally here. Let us know when you start finding morels!!!
ReplyDeleteWandering Owl - Certainly will let you know if we are successful at finding a morel. ;)
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of time lapse, I could actually see the grass grow today.
ReplyDeleteWindyridge - Yes the grass is making a fast come back here too,lush and green. I love the smell of the first Spring cuttings.
ReplyDeleteSpring is definitely here in our neck of the woods as well. The only downside to that is that pretty soon I'm going to have to mow the lawn.
ReplyDeleteSimply Outdoors - I know what you mean...I was jusy commenting to hubby about getting the lawn tractor ready to go again...
