Sproing!!
Is it too early for spring? We have gotten freezes and snows into mid-April. But today I took a walk out in my front yard and this is what I saw:
I do not have a lawn as an environmental statement and as a lazy statement.
No, these cannot compete with the bluebonnets of Texas. But they are my little bonnets of blue close to the ground. And they attracted this fellow...the FIRST of the season on March 13!!
I think its common name is the Eastern Comma. My February Lenton Roses are still bringing forth lots of spring beauty in competition.
If you look closely at the photo above you will see the sapsucker holes in a neat row in my young sugar maple.
