Great thoughts on Spring! We have enjoyed it this year, I think, more than ever!

Love your wildflower books – something we want to know more about, so we’re going to see if we can find some of the ones you’ve recommended! Thanks!

Hi Kim, so glad to know that you’ll be able to use some of my ideas for nature in April!
We’re missing you here in Kentucky!

Hi Leslie,

I live in Kentucky! I love it here, I think Kentucky has beautiful nature! We also have white magnolias, I have pictures of those too that I’ll post soon. As far as your road kill oddities, my best guess is that it’s mating season and all animals seem to just get crazy this time of year, causing a lot of them to be on and near roads. Our usual sight on the side of the road this time of year are deer (for the reason I mentioned before). They can do quite a bit of damage to cars!

I always try to figure out what part of the country you are in. Your magnolia blossoms look different than the ones I see here in tx. The purple is really beautiful. Ours are big and white. I wonder if we have other kinds, too? (I don’t know a lot about trees.) One really odd bit of nature we have been seeing that I don’t recall ever seeing before is dead beaver and nutria on the side of the road. I saw my 3rd one the other morning close to an area with a drainage easement. I am not sure what to make of it. It is so weird to see beaver road kill!

Hi Virginia! I fell in love with the book On Meadowview Street the first time I read it. And how sweet that your daughter’s name is Caroline!

Thanks for sharing your ideas. We have been having great weather here too so we have been spending lots of time outside. I am looking forward to adding some of your ideas to our day.

Great ideas and a beautiful picture too. That is what May looks like around Colorado. Also have to say that we love “On Meadowview Street.” My daughter’s name is Caroline just like the little girl in the book.
