Being green

I checked out one of my favorite way-off-the-beaten-track places on Monday and found both skunk cabbage and watercress already sprouting. Magical!
By the way, Claire Murray of Inverbrook Farm here in West Marlborough writes a wonderful, thoughtful blog about farming, nature and country life at http://inverbrook.blogspot.com/. She spotted skunk cabbage and heard peepers long before I did this spring.
