Checks out. This very good boy is reasonably smart and earnestly assumes the best about people (except people wearing raincoats, but nobody is entirely without bias.)

Behold, the first flower of my springtime - a "wild" strawberry spotted in the garden on May eve.
The tiniest strawberry flower.

Happy Equinox! The air smells like David Francey's line "when winter finally breaks its bones". My garden plants are sprouting hopefully in the kitchen, and willows along the river are getting fluffy.
Fluffy willows (at least I think they are willows) along the bank of the Sturgeon River herald the coming of spring.

Happy winter solstice to all. Days get brighter from here. ☀️
Winter sunlight reflects off natural spring water in an otherwise frozen, snow-covered forest.A dry flower peeks out from the snow.

Decorative gourd season! Hoping the little ghouls are scared by the decor and not the resident porch skunk. #abed

See ya in the spring, Sandhill Cranes noisy overhead this afternoon! (Google helpfully offered to remove the cranes from this picture when I was cropping it.)

For anyone feeling back to school/end of summer/start of everything Sunday Scaries (though it's Monday), here is a picture of my cousin's dog jumping into the local outdoor pool at today's end-of-season dogs only day.

Jasper sends comforting vibes (and wonders if you might have any treats).

In the absence of family traditions for Imbolc / Bridgid's day / halfway between midwinter and the spring equinox, we did some spring cleaning. Spring feels far away in today's -20 snow, but brighter days, at least, are coming.
