Walking at South Glen with Mike: Bloodroot, purple cress, and spring beauties in bloom. Toothwort and toad trillium budded. Wild ginger leaves are unraveling from the soil, and buckeye leaves have opened, some revealing bud clusters. Sweet rockets very tall and bushy, garlic mustard starting to rise. Geese patrolling their nesting areas. Towhee calling. At home, more lilies coming up, bleeding hearts with small heart buds. Pussy willow catkins falling, almost all gone. Greg’s lily-of-the-valley has just emerged.
