4/24/10 BEAT THE DRUMS!

LOOKS LIKE RAIN
CANADA MAYFLOWERS EVERYWHERE
THE WOODS WALK

Saturday, 7:45 AM. Wind S, calm. The sky is overcast with dark rain clouds and a few misty drops are falling. But the barometer, although down, predicts only partly cloudy skies. Time to beat the drums.
We took the woods walk for the first time since last fall, and the Canada mayflowers (Maianthemum canadense), also called wild lily of the valley, are sending their spear-like leaves up everywhere, often in great clumps. It will be a while before they bloom.
