Recent Emergers

True Spring is creeping closer a millimeter at a time. The feet of my metal chicken are totally out of the snow. Skunk cabbage is poking up. There are a plethora of articles about this plant which produces its own heat and therefore warms the ground enough to be the first thing UP and growing. I just love the colors. Dark red and yellow-y green after months of white and gray and black. Winter has its own beauty which I well appreciate. Now I am on the lookout for BRIGHT. I have also crossed the threshold of "My world is frozen - all I can do is saw and snowshoe" to "My world is thawed and I could be outdoors 24 hours a day raking and toting branches and distributing all that lovely poop-blessed straw from the geese."
