Spring Training

for Red Winged Blackbirds

Left behind
while everyone else is out
learning the ropes.

Hanging on for dear life
Still a little wobbly

Spied the princess
who was all about posing


 Gotta love the 'doo'

Yes Virginia . . .

These two wildflowers were a familiar sight along the path through the woods to our one room schoolhouse.

Pennsylvania's official Wildflower
Trillium

And the May apple

May apple blossoms and apples that follow
hide below their own 'umbrella' of leaves.

Yes Virginia, a mile and half though the woods
everyday rain or shine.
One teacher and six grades.
(seems like a lifetime ago. Oh wait, it was)

Everything
Thankful for my Mom

Her name was Wilda.
Family and Friends called her 'Bill'.

My Dad called her Wilda.

My Children called her Grandma.

I called her Mom.


Happy Mother's Day
to all Mothers and Daughters

'Tis the Season . . .

for mid Spring frost

and the frost is on the pumpkin?

Make that the fruit trees.
Hopefully too light to damage them.

On the brighter side

The wild dogwoods are gorgeous this year.

No Winter lasts forever. No Spring skips it's turn
