Spring is Arriving

A drive to the country this morning to view progress of future country home. Yeah!!! it is progressing at a good speed. Electrician, plumber, heat and air workers were all on working. Cabinet man arrived and my kitchen cabinets, pantry and bathroom cabinets were laid out.
The best contractor I know of is always on site.

I commented that since this property is North of where I presently live that the trees are slow showing their leaves. He pointed out the Red bud trees that were beginning to be evident.

The picture is one that is at the side of the house. Warmed my heart to see this tree in many places in the woods. Also the woods are full of May apples. They are coming up everywhere.

Websters Dictionary says it is a woodland herb with edible fruit. Also another site shares of its medicinal uses. Seemed the Indians used it a lot.

Well - Do not know if One Woman will be eating it or making jelly like another site shared you could do.

A small beagle lives on the adjoining property. He seems to have taken up residency in my home. Funny watching how he comes in on the gangplank. He follows me through the woods and I had to share my lunch with him.

Driving home down the country road the wheat fields are a beautiful shade of green. Almost blinding to look at without my sun glasses. The fields are covered with baby calves next to their mothers.

Enough said - I know there must be more then the beginning flowering trees and May apples.

I will see how many Dogwood trees I can spot in the next few weeks.

On a sad note - a dear friend who is one of the twins who are so special to me - lost her husband yesterday. She was not home for a short time and found him on returning. A heart attack.

This is the third special person I have lost since the beginning of the year.
