    I made my first trip of the season up to the cabin this week. Spring is really late so I got to see some of my favorite wild flowers. Here are two that I want to transplant into my yard. Guess I will try and get seeds this year...again. I seem to miss the timing on these two every year.

    The weather was wonderful and it is always relaxing to get away from town. I had to bring home more ferns that had sprouted in the little cleared area in front of hte cabin. Another 6 pots of ferns to find new homes for. Here is another wild flower that I want to bring home, but haven't a place for yet. It is doing very well in a large container by the back door of the cabin.

    The cabin is so much in the trees that it is always dark. Had to make a quick trip up to the lake. Snow is still fresh on the mountains. No water worries this year.

    Beautiful scenery, plants and cabin. We are having opposite seasons ... spring was early and we are having a drought already.
