Thought I’d share some photos of the seasonal colors in my yard. Our winter was cooler and wetter than normal but it has warmed up nicely over the past few weeks. While I enjoy all the flowers (and the pollinators they attract) I’m just as excited to see the mushrooms and slime mold.

To me, these simple lifeforms mean that my yard is nutrient-dense. By the way, did you know that slime mold blobs can move? They aren’t speedy but they are able to meander across a landscape. Nature is weird!

I’m pretty pleased with how my yard is coming along, though there is always still room for more greenery.
