Remember the wild grave vine I posted a about 10 days ago with the tight leaf buds? This is same vine today–baby grapes and all!
Today is my daughter Eva’s 28th birthday! Happy Birthday Evie, I love you to the moon and back!

The apple blossoms keep coming. The dark pink blossoms bloomed about 10 days after the pale pink/white ones. I absolutely love this time of year in the North!

I need a hug
Photogenic. Expressive. Edible. Interesting. Beautiful. Weird. What’s not to love about fiddleheads?

Wish I could give you a hug in person! There’s nothing quite a good hug, is there? Unless maybe it’s puppy dog kisses(?). I know it’s not quite the same, but I’m sending a heartfelt virtual hug.

I can’t get enough
I can NOT get enough of the apple blossoms this year. Wowsa.
These dark-pink blossoms with the star-shaped white markings are new-to-me. I really like them.

ferns unfurl like scrolls
I was home just long enough to catch the fiddleheads before they were all knee-high and mostly unfurled. Amen for small victories. I would have been very sad had I messed my favorite micro-season of all. Note to self: Don’t travel in May if you don’t have to. Sixty-one years old and still learning.

Made me gasp! Those beauties are truly stunning! So glad you didn’t miss them with all your traipsing around the countryside. When you wrote your book, I bet you had no idea of the far reaching demands it would ultimately make on your life.
