Into the Woods
May 7, 2017 (127/2017)
"There is a serene and settled majesty to woodland scenery that enters into the soul and delights and elevates it." - Washington Irving. This weekend's project: Cleaning out our "woods." The reward: Planting ferns, hepatica, jack-in-the-pulpit, brunnera, and trillium -- plants indigenous to Wisconsin woodlands. These trillium have moved three times!
Elated

"To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter... to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird's nest or a wildflower in spring — these are some of the rewards of the simple life." - John Burroughs
[I was elated to find this purple finch nest in my potted fern!]
