We went for a walk in the woods between showers.
The woods have greened.
I am hunting for wildflowers.
The Pale Corydalis was just beginning to bloom.
The sun came out for a little bit.
The sweet smell of Spring filled the air.
The clouds cleared.
I found a few more wildflowers.
I knew the bees would come out soon.
I want Spring Beauty in my flower beds.
I have plenty of dandelions!
We rested by the waterfall.
My lawn has lots of Wild Violets.
I love the bee guide lines
on the violets showing the way
to the nectar.
Before the rains began last Monday
I picked a basket full of Wild Violets.
I am drying them for winter teas.
I will harvest more.
I have been reading and making
garden plans.
I am designing a wildflower garden
for under the front Maple tree.
I want to see the wildflowers in the wild before I buy
my corms and plants.
Spring Beauty looks to be a perfect Wildflower
for my new flowerbed.
More thundershowers were in the forecast.
We will hike again when the rain stops.
We are hunting for spring wildflowers.
I am listening to an amazing album.
I am watching the Rain Dragons do their good work.

This post stirs my soul---I too pick the little Violets in the yard :) I remember picking them as a child, and I still do it today, although I've not known/thought to use them in tea. I have a lot to learn from my friend.
This post is so lovely Sherry. We are a little behind you in terms of spring growth but it has started and I am so happy. That photo of the basket of violets made me smile. So beautiful!
spring wildflowers are the best
I always gasp when I see them in my garden and in the wild....good luck on inviting a few into your garden...

I am breathing the smell spring fragrant in your picture.
I like the whit flower in the 7th picture. It is not seen around here.
I will pick violets for tea. I didn't know about it.
Enjoy great spring!
I especially like the reflection shots!
I really like some of these pictures. I especially like i think it was number 11, with the bee. Really cool. Wish i could take a picture that nice!
