Celebrating May, a great month to be outside.

Trillium in the woods
May Joy
The smell of lilacs permeates the air.
The chickadees cardinals and orioles sing at their hopeful best
My beautiful niece is married
A swallowtail butterfly lays eggs on the blooming golden Alexander.

Golden Alexander is a swallowtail host plant
Every tree shows its own personality,
The first hummingbirds in my yard,
The freedom of biking to events and just for fun.
A season of hope,
Columbine and wild geranium bloom,

The violets are radiant!

Hummingbirds follow the blooming Columbine.
Discussions about what to do with dandelions. And even the first dandelions bring joy!
Be mindful, pay attention, get outside and see our beautiful world!
“Dandelions are one of the earliest flowering plants in spring, dandelions provide food for pollinators such as bees and butterflies, rabbits, birds and deer, just to name a few. The dandelion also helps below the surface by feeding the soil with its deep root structure.” unknown source
