Trillium - Sit Spot #827 - May 4, 2021





I am getting a fair number of views everyday
but only comments from one person. 
It would be great to at least see where the views 
are coming from i.e.  city, province or state, country . . . 







White Trilliums too get viruses
but they are not wearing masks
to stop the spread

     Took large walnut limbs from
behind the dirt pile east of the house
and put them in the burn pile.

     Out looking for the Green Dragon plant;
Not found.

  The Robin in the nest by the barn

has been missing for the last two days.j

I checked the nest today and there

 were no eggs in it.

     I do not know what happened.


     Just at dusk a White-tailed Deer strolled 

across our east meadow ignoring 

our barking dog. A second one

ran across the meadow after 

the first had reached the other side.
