Today we went to the west end hoping to see the Bloodroot on Two Island Road. Most were gone. I guess spring came and went so fast this year we missed things.

Probably the most prolific bloomer was the dandelions. We put our a bumper crop up here. Next prolific ones were Spring Beauty and Marsh Marigolds. Both gave us pleasure along with the Wood Anemones. Beautiful day – 3:30 lunch at Temperance River Campground.
