Nature Friday - Woods

 Thanks to Rosy for hosting this hop.

First we check in with our snow:


Yesterday was April 21, Susan's guess.


Sadly, there is still one spot of snow in the backyard. Sorry Susan! 

Next guess is Millie and Walter's guess for the 25th. Lady says she thinks it should be gone by then, mind you we got snow this week once so who knows!  We are just grateful that June's July 4th guess looks like it will be very wrong! Stay tuned!

----------------------

As we mentioned, while Man was away we did a lot of walking. A lot of it was in the woods. Lady hopes she will continue this new habit (although bug season may not be as much fun!)

 

Here we are coming down a hill. You can still see some snow in the swamp at the bottom

In places the path is still icy and in others it is very muddy.

We saw a lot of fungus! 

Lady just noticed this tree on our property by the entrance to the bush. At the top it is 2 trees,



and at the bottom, the two trunks are one and it looks like there is a heart in the bark. Lady is calling it the love tree!


We hope next week to have some more colour to share. While most of the snow is gone, spring has not fully sprung here!

  6. OMD! We've been playing your snow game for a long time and didn't think we would ever get close to being right. Our paws are crossed that the snow is gone soon. Not just for us but for you so you know spring has finally sprung. Those woods look like a beautiful place to take a hike.

  8. The love tree is so cool and we love mushrooms and fungus. They are just as pretty and intricate as any flower.

  10. Lots of walking in the woods sounds great.
    Lee and Phod, do you guys get bothered by the bugs or is it just Lady?

  11. Strolling through those beautiful woods sounds a great way to usher spring in.

  13. Cinnamon wants you to know that there was even more snow up the hill when we went to the big city yesterday. It was snowing on Wednesday when we went to Salmon Arm and it looks like all the rain we had here on Thursday was snow up there! She was most happy to eat some when we stopped at the rest stop so she could have a walk. We are happy that none "stuck" at our hose, Mom says it might get warm enough to do some yard work today! We LOVE your heart tree! Purrs Marv

  15. Hi friends, Ojo here! I like transition times! Snow holds smells so well! But spring is full of its own smells! Happy transition season!
