Coastal Maine Botanical Garden – Lady Slippers
I also don’t remember there being that many lady slippers about. They were everywhere – even in the parking lot. That was lovely to see. The yellow and white flowers are from a planted bed in the wildflower garden, but all the pinks are from various locations around the Garden.

Coastal Maine Botanical Garden – Trilliums
The last time I saw forest wildflowers at the CMBG was before the Children’s Garden had come into existence, so I was very surprised and pleased to run into the trillium bed in the back corner of the Children’s Garden. All of these pictures are from there, except the last shot, which is

Adventures on a Friday Afternoon
Because I skipped the gym after work yesterday, I caught the tail end of the most excitement my neighborhood has seen as long as I’ve lived here (and frankly, hopefully longer). Why yes, that is an idling, yet empty cop car blocking the entrance to my driveway. (With his buddy doing the same to

Spring!
The snowbanks are shrinking! It’s still a little depressing in the back yard, but it’s getting better. I can actually see bare ground back there now. Heck, if you look really, really carefully below, you can see the composter sticking out of the large front snow bank. (You can totally

So, let’s add to the last entry: 2015-02-12: 1.32015-02-14: 1.92015-02-15: 0.42015-02-18: 0.42015-02-19: 5.82015-02-21: 1.42015-02-22: 0.1 (data ends here for now) It’s stopped being funny. Granted, last Sunday was supposed to be a blizzard, and wasn’t. (Hilariously, York County got 18 inches and we got about five – my kind of cutoff line), but
