Phew! That was a full month of flowers! Did you follow along?
This month we learned about mayapple, phlox, geranium, bellwort, fairy bells, squawroot, greater Celandine, Solomon seal & plume, baneberry, meadow rue, trillium, bluets, greek valerian, dwarf ginseng, sweet Cicely, corn salad, rue anemone, dame's rocket, flag iris, star of Bethlehem, false mermaid, purple pitcher plant, fleabane, cinquefoil, hawkweed, alsike clover, thimbleweed, pineapple weed, buttercup, and campion! 
​Even after learning about all of those, there were still so many others that came into bloom in May... I guess the saying is correct, April showers do bring May flowers!

Other May Flowers...

Spiderwort
Pepper Grass
Jack in the Pulpit
Long Spurred Violet
Bishop's Cap
Woodland Stonecrop
Cohosh
Swamp Buttercup
Saxifrage
Henbit
Flax
Buckeye Tree Blossom
I hope you had fun and learned something new!

Early Mornings

Early morning the sun dapples light on the ferns

The smell of warm earth
woody yet sharp
rolls up from the ground to fill my lungs


A deer snorts as I disturb her rest
birds chut at my intrusion


Slowly, slowly, we settle into a calm understanding of peaceful observance


I sit and become the scene while the baby birds wait for their meal

Momma bird sees I am no threat continues her mission

A flurry of activity surrounds me as I sit


​I become insignificant

I become everything
