Fireflies

The first fireflies of the season were spotted lighting up our garlic and rhubarb bed last night. A barefooted Huxley (he says 'It's nearly summer, I need to get used to bare feet!') wandered off after them, yogurt popsicle in hand.

I can certainly understand why so many adventurers from past myths were spirited away by these sorts of mysterious lights - who can possibly resist their magic?!



...and sweet-smelling, eye-catching roses from a walk earlier in the week. Because there was no way I could have caught a firefly with my camera!

April round-up



April brought some kite flying with homemade kites in the park.



The beginning of Gardening 2015! Plants moved and rearranged. And elderberries to add as well!


 And with any improved garden space, must be added more loam/compost... But first it must be deemed jump worthy.


  
The first bbq pizza of the season. We'll be having this for MANY more meals in the coming months.

Spring's first greens and glows

The tingly spiciness of this year's chives.


The unfurling of the rhubarb flag.


The gorgeous glow of the setting sun on the house.

Snowshoe outing at Notchview

Where ever the trail peters out, the red blazes are what you keep an eye out for. The snowshoeing symbol helps out to, encouraging the lone trekker to go just a wee bit further down the trail. Or off the trail.



This week there were many more animal tracks than the previous week's trip. The birds are changing their songs to their springtime calls of enchantment.

Despite having a little point and shoot with me, I didn't get any pictures of the pair of ruffed grouse that surprised the hell out of me as I trudged past! And I was mighty close to the second one without realizing it, before it took off like a heavy chicken to a safer copse.
