Independence Day, the monarch effect, and the rare unicorn root

A report on springtime blooms, bees, and gardens.

Flowing sap, budding pussy willows, quacking wood frogs, and other signs that spring will come.

Rob McCall reflects on the midwinter activities of pruning, sleeping, and looking to summer.

The winter season brings the first snow, woodsmoke in the air, and time for close-knit community.

Autumn brings slowing days, walks in the woods, and a final round of flowers.

July brings garden bounty, molting birds, and summer storms.

Spring: Everything is green, growing, and blossoming.

It is the time of year for thawing and hints of rejuvenation.

Winter snow doesn’t stop the littlest critters.
