ts just say the word Poison Ivy..enough said.
So I went for a family walk today through my favorite part of Rutland State Park. It is filled with transitions. In about a half a mile (perfect for Nora) the woods transition from pine forest to open field to deciduous hardwoods and low brush. It is an amazing walk. This morning was nearly perfect, except for the new additions of horseflies everywhere. Still really beautiful.
The milkweed was just coming into bloom,
and the scent of it was just everywhere. We saw all sorts of birds, here are just a few, Yellowthroat, Flycatchers, Catbirds, Cedar Waxwings, and tons of swallows. Henry and Nora are now accustomed to pointing out anything that they find along the way and it makes for a really pleasant walk.
