one day in April
There was a local television crew at my house today filming me do my foraging and arranging thing. Its alway a little awkward because I usually forage in the morning,
and arrange in the afternoon, and those several hours in-between is when I (subconsciously?) simmer on possible compositions. Anyway, this is what I gathered on my 15 minute stroll in my backyard while the camera followed me. This is April 20th in Shoreview, Minnesota in the year 2026.

Wow! I am really impressed. :-)
I was “iffy” on the spruce, the honeysuckle and the blackberry. Glad to see I was right :) And I am relieved that I you didn’t expect an ID on the leaf the scilla is poking up through, heh heh. This was fun!
PS, no AI was used for this challenge, only what’s packed in this 80 year old head of mine!
