Recipe for Spring

caywood-- SUNday took its name to heart and brought us some cheering rays, along with the warmest temperatures of the season.

This called for a walk down to the lake. Along the way, a new-to-us neighbor was met, a hummingbird nest was sighted, and the first wildflowers of Spring were appreciated! Quiet, tiny blooms that they are, we didn't notice them until the return trip. Another reminder that beauty is all around, even if you aren't currently seeing it.



A quick peek at neighbors Jay and Amy's Audubon Society Field Guild to Wildflowers revealed these to be Coltsfoot.

Wondering what to do the Coltsfoot you find in your neighborhood?

You'll have to tell us how it is, though, because the rest of the afternoon was spent sunning ourselves on the deck. Another first of Spring.
