Three years ago I stole some miniature irises from April in NH. Flew them down in my suitcase and planted them the next day. They have finally come into their own.

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.
