In my previous post for RDP, I mentioned that we had a mild winter this past year. So mild, in fact that trees began budding in February.

This was a couple of weeks after the biggest snow storm we had last February! But winter lingers and teases – when in March we all ready for spring, we get more snow.

One thing I love to look at in winter is the full moon filtering through the leafless tree branches from our deck.

By April, it was spring, with daffodils and tulips beginning to bloom! Often it is not until May that we see the full beauty of spring. May is a great time to take walks along the lake and watch Northwestern students celebrate the end of the semester! A hammock on a breezy May day is just the thing!
