It has been cooler the last week or so, but still beautiful! We have been getting out for a walk every day and it's amazing how much changes daily! The poplar trees were the first to leaf out and now the maples are well on their way. Another week or so and I think all the trees will be green! There are trees that grow some sort of red berry (I have no idea what they are) that have been flowering for the last two weeks, and the apple blossoms are just starting to bud. A lot of my early spring flowers are finished blooming and my bleeding hearts are getting started.
We have seen a lot of wildlife on our walks too. Groundhogs (which I think are cute, even though I know they are a pest and have to go), pheasants, birds of all shapes and colours, a hawk, a group of three bald eagles, and wild turkeys! This is the first time I have ever seen wild turkeys and I keep hoping to get a picture of them. It seems like they know when I'm coming with a camera and they hide.
We finished putting our garden in this week. With a little luck, the blackbirds will leave the seeds alone and the deer will stay out of the plants and we'll have lots of veggies this summer!
I completed a few scrapbook layouts this week. I am still working away at Disney pages, but I took a break and scrapped some pictures I snapped during a walk this week. I usually use a lot of neutral colours when I scrap, but I left my comfort zone and went with some bright colours that were found in the pictures. I have to admit that this is one of my favourite pages to date. To the scrapbookers out there: I challenge you to step out of your comfort zone this week and just see what happens!
