Spring beauties

Dryad saddle

The title of this post is a bit misleading.  Yes, the Spring Beauties did start blooming a week ago, and the woods is currently alive with hepatica, rue anemone, buttercup, sedge, and trout-lily flowers.  But when I went out with the camera this morning, I was drawn away from the blossoms and toward the other signs of spring.  The photo above is a Dryad Saddle poking out of a stump in our garden.

New buckeye leaves

Our buckeye trees are just starting to leaf out.  I'm glad we're located on the north side of a hill because that shade slowed our trees down just enough that they didn't get nipped by the hard freeze earlier this week.

Squirrel cache

Looks like a squirrel was hanging out in this hollow tree all winter.

Backyard chicken keepers swear by our chicken waterer because it saves them hours of messy work.
