weekly wine walk... It was hot out today. Hot, humid and well, completely wacky. I got out of work this evening and it was 81ยบ with heavy humidity. Mind you, we had a snow shower last week, albeit brief, but snow nonetheless. I really can't keep up with the changes, but I will say that all the rare early warmth this Spring has really led to an early greening of our woods.
My favorite little white violets proliferate our patches of grass and moss. They definitely take a treading and keep on spreading.
The woodland floors are coming alive with signs of blooms to come, while moss throws up strange little shoots of tiny, little seedpods waiting to burst forth.
Lily-of-the-Valley's pods are getting fatter by the day while woodland orchid's play hiding games with their discrete blooms. The Lady Slipper's are still elusive right now, but I know that it will be any day now before I spot my first one of the season.
Finally, the ferns. The magnificent ferns that dominate the borders of our woods. Various shapes, sizes and colors, these graceful creatures give a lesson in patience as they slowly unfurl over several days. Just beautiful.
