Thankfully, I have no spring allergies. I feel for those of you who do. Just think, tho’, if spring came early, it will likely leave early, too. 🙂I was surpeised to see shades of pink, orange and green in the tiny pods of pollen!

Something is emerging from the earth in my garden…Recognize the plant? Doesn’t it look prehistoric and reptilian?

Showy entrance

I have no idea what type of tree this is. I don’t recall ever seeing this around us in NW Ontario. We were returning from a business trip to Minneapolis MN and stopped for dinner in Forest Lake MN. These delicate seed strings were swaying ever so gently in the setting sun like hula skirts at a luau.

Spring has come early this year!

Wish this was my garden….

I was fortunate to visit Bellingham WA with my daughter a spring or two ago.

Freezing point

We all know water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius (32F). When the air temperature hovers at that point we can find water in both solid and liquid form.
This day the spring melt falls over a highway rock cut and builds ice at the bottom.
