Spring is certainly in a rush. This past week we had a couple of very warm days and many wildflowers came out, with the redbuds leading the way. Along the hollow road are rue anemone, coltsfoot, wild geranium, and cut-leaved toothwort. Up the side hollow the bluebells are coming in very fast. Spring beauties and violets down by the gate and in the pasture, henbit, purple dead nettle, tower and field mustard, cress and speedwells. I am so lucky to live in my hollow, even after the long and difficult winter.
