Went to the Woods this afternoon at 3. It was pleasant almost 60 F. Along the Tree Loop, the flowers of the Ulmus rubra slippery elms were opening and open.. new development this week. Each Elaeagnus autumn olive had new green leaves emerging along the stems. The green understory was growing with Stellaria chickweed and Capsella shepherd's purse.. a few Capsella in bloom. There were also the older winter-green leaves of Geum Avens, Allium wild onions and others. There were 4 white-tail deer SW of the Elm Bridge.
I took a saw and cleared an old fallen Celtis sugarberry snag blocking the W Dune trail. Spring is coming on - marvelous Day. Thirty degrees cooler, clouds and snow tomorrow and Monday.
