Spring seems to be in no hurry this year, with cooler than normal temperatures, but there are now many more signs with many trees, except a few like Black Walnut now in leaf and birds such as Rose-breasted Grosbeaks and Baltimore Orioles back in our area. As some spring flowers fade away there are later spring flowers blooming now, such as many yellow Large-flowered Bellwort, Cut -leaved Toothwort, May Apple, Jack-in-the-pulpit, Garlic Mustard and Wood Anemone.

With a few high temperatures and rain, many more wildflowers have come out, including large white and red trilliums, large-flowered Bellwort, Marsh marigolds, and Bloodroot. I have also seen a garter snake, and several green frogs since the weather has changed.

Spring this year has continued to come in fits and starts.
