This year was a slow spring, but there is always a moment where I notice the increments and then I notice there was an explosion of growth, and all the trees have their leaves, with many seeds spinning down to feed the squirrels and flowers to attract the first bees and butterflies.
It draws me every year to the forests with muddy paths in search of the precious spring flowers that emerge from the winter's thaw for the briefest of time, but only last until the canopy of leaves begin to block the light to the forests' floor. So the order that spring followed this year was: crocuses,
trout lillies, trillium, tulips, forsythia, lilacs, crabapple blossoms, cherry blossoms, primrose, vinca, honeysuckle, spirea, lupins.
