Mr. McGregor’s Daughter,
I’m still looking for Dutchman’s Breeches. Maybe someday. The Red trilliums aren’t rare but they aren’t common either around here. Today I spotted some Pink Trilliums and am still kicking myself for not stopping and taking a photo but I had a huge boulder on the truck again and was in a hurry to get it ‘delivered’. The good news is they’re growing in the hedgerows of my hay fields.

I'll have to watch for the other wildflowers as I've never seen them before. I have lots of wild strawberries but the critters always get the berries before we do. <blockquote><em>Apple, It turns out we're just a bit later here than you. I spotted the first trilliums on May 1 and was afraid that they weren't doing so well this year. A little over 2 weeks later and all worries are gone. The woods are filled with scattered colonies now. Look for wild Foam Flower too - I spotted some yesterday but didn't have my camera with me.</em></blockquote> All of my red trilliums are done here but I still have several white ones blooming.

Apple,
It turns out we’re just a bit later here than you. I spotted the first trilliums on May 1 and was afraid that they weren’t doing so well this year. A little over 2 weeks later and all worries are gone. The woods are filled with scattered colonies now. Look for wild Foam Flower too – I spotted some yesterday but didn’t have my camera with me.

You will be proud of me with regards to stones, but you will have to wait a few days. Luckily enough I didn't have to contend with any of those suuside rocks that want to jump out of the back of your pick-up. I'm working on some pictures of snorting flames...it has given me all sorts of ideas. Cheers Mark <blockquote><em>Mark, I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with stone. Your other projects are always top notch so I expect to see something good. Rocks only get suicidal after dealing with me. I'm more stubborn than they are and they get frustrated having to continually fight a battle of wits with an unarmed man. Just remember I'm not responsible if you get flame broiled.</em></blockquote> Hi Wise acre,

Mark,
I’m looking forward to seeing what you do with stone. Your other projects are always top notch so I expect to see something good.

Rocks only get suicidal after dealing with me. I’m more stubborn than they are and they get frustrated having to continually fight a battle of wits with an unarmed man.

Just remember I’m not responsible if you get flame broiled.
