observations

here are some random, and possibly boring, observations from the inn

-the bluets are in late bloom and pair nicely with the mosses that blanket several areas around the restaurant and inn
-the white snakeroot is growing everywhere in teh open spaces around the inn; learned this week that if cows eat this plant their milk can be toxic to humans
-the juvenile beech trees have finally lost last season's leaves and all are budding out
-the deer have found the newly planted blackeyed-susans in the meadow next to the beardtongue
-a neighborhood cat ran off with a chipmunk this morning around 10am
-the jack-in-the-pulpits are blooming everywhere...and fortunately the new plants have all grown up nicely
-Jack and Lucie visited last weekend and learned about garlic mustard, and never to eat anything from the wild unless they were with Uncle Andy
-watched a turkey fly down the hill into the meadow
-ran into a nieghbor today looking for mushrooms in the woods (I was running the trail toward October Hill)
