It’s early for the peak. But the peak it is along the banks of the Shenandoah.
Romey looks like a bluebell too.
Moonshine does not look like a bluebell. Nor does he smell like one.
There are also other flowers available.

The bluebells are peaking in mid-April this year (a bit early), so we are outta here, headed to Norway for more winter. Because we, um, actually we think we’re nuts.
Here are some pictures from the daily walk.

In NH this weekend, we went to see the newt orgy. Apparently it had already ended by the time we arrived. Only a few newt stragglers remained.
Here’s what it looks like in NH in early April.
At least there were beavers to be seen. Or signs of beavers anyway.
Huge oak taken down by beavers.
Or was it the field ecologist?
Beavers or ecologists?
At least we used all of our gear. Here is how a field ecologist rolls in NH. Umbrella, snowshoes, and an ipad.
Meanwhile back at the apothecary shed, things look distinctly more springlike.
