While this pic would suggest it was unpopulated, quite the contrary, I had to wait for the right opening to get this. I missed getting a pic of a lady posing her dog in front of them. So cute. People are enjoying the blooms. Taken the day before the remaining open spaces/parks were closed.
From Ann Toombs: Flying over Southport Harbor, this bald eagle must be one of the pair that took up residence last summer and can be seen regularly now that it is springtime.
There are so many different ways to enjoy ramps ranging from simply sautéing in olive oil, adding to your eggs, whipping up pesto, pickling the bulbs, ramp butter and substituting for garlic and onion in any recipe for a taste of spring. This past Easter Sunday, I made a simple frittata with ramps and potato – yum!

This time of year, and especially this spring, staying home doing so much needle working, instead of throwing my woolen scraps in the wastebasket, I leave a bunch out for the birds who are making their nests. It is nice to know that your wool is keeping little fledglings warm while their parents hunt for worms and bugs. I discovered this years ago when I found a fallen nest in September with some of my sheep’s wool encircled among the twigs. Wool scraps that were discarded when the sheep were being sheared in early May.
