MONDAY, APRIL 23, 2007 Mom and I got out early and went to the Beaver Ponds on the towpath in Cuyahoga River Nat. Park. The ponds were so still, reflecting the early sun and bare trees. We came across this little guy trying to soak up some sun, and we saw a muskrat swimming, too. Lots of geese and ducks are nesting now, but there is a mink in the area eating the eggs in the nests, so tensions were high!
Later Cris and I hiked the trail at Hampton Hills, looking for wildflowers. The dog-tooth violets were in full bloom, everywhere we looked. If you look closely, the yellow flowers are scattered throughout the green on the hillside next to the trail. It was beautiful.
Cris and I also went to NatureRealm, where we looked for the brick that Kathy, Cris and I commissioned for our parents last year for their 67th anniverary.
