...and seeing if the fiddleheads had popped up!
One of the things I love about our yard is that it is 4 acres of varying landscape. We have a large wonderful open area in the front yard, which is perfect for kick ball games, for football and for soccer.....your all purpose athletic field. There is my mother's perennial garden which is a labor of love and in it's 2nd season so I expect it to really be beautiful this year.
The back of the yard is partially woods and the other area leads to a stream in the back of the property. Near the stream it is the time of year for one of my favorite things to be blooming....
the fiddleheads!!!
Now, I know that I have thing with fiddleheads and tend to humanize them, but that is just because they are so incredibly symbolic of our life.
Their unfurling form, how they grow and change, sometimes alone and other times surrounded by other fiddleheads. They truly are so special to me. I just love them and how they represent growth and change.
to add to my love of the flora and fauna of our yard....
these sprouts...
and then these mushrooms. Recognize our family? (again humanizing!)
so happy to witness the fiddleheads and their friends return for another season of growth and change.
