Just Like That... Green

 We got rain yesterday.  Not much, just enough.


It has dried up quickly this Spring.  We've been raking and picking up branches, cleaning the beaches, getting lawn chairs and picnic tables and bbqs cleaned and ready.



But yesterday, it rained.


And SNAP.  Just like that. it is GREEN!


It is amazing how fast the grass pops into colour with that first watering.




Not just the greens have popped -- the hyacinths and daffodils and star-flowers have all come into their own.


In the woods, the trilliums are just hovering on the edge of popping into bloom.



It's Spring.

In Algonquin, the moose are out along Hwy 60 in full force.

It's a great time to visit.

If you haven't booked the May long weekend, you might want to think about that. Now.

Hey, there

  This doe was right outside my cottage door yesterday.

she looks to be in excellent shape for this time of year -- not like our buck, who is very thin and looks like he had a rough autumn season.

I love the ears...
