This and that

Unknown nest builder. Nest is tucked into corner over front door.

Hidden under foliage are ....

Pink Moccasin Flowers (Cypripedium acaule)

Redbelly Snake (found under a pot on a cold morning)

Turtle

I found this partially decayed turtle at the water's edge. There is still evidence of head, neck and legs. The tail is impressive and looks very dinosaur/prehistoric!. Eventually just the shell will remain.

There were lots of large turtles sunning on logs or the pond banks this last weekend.

Vegetable garden

Strawberry plants went in mid march.

Last year's strawberry plants growing amidst clumps of daffodils. I'll find out this year if the strawberry plants can grow and fruit okay this way. The flowers look good so far.

Young radishes.
