Let’s just hope that we don’t get any extremely cold weather in May which can significantly hurt plants of all types – in nature, in our gardens, and on farms. Last year April was very cool and the tree foliage didn’t appear until well into May – later than normal. Having the foliage emerging in mid-April is just too early and with some cooler air rolling in, that process is slowing down. The very warm April is finishing off cooler than normal, which is a good thing in my opinion. Our inverted weather patterns between February and March, and then a very warm April, have created some unusual first arrivals of several species of birds this spring. Many of these birds also eat seeds, nectar and tree buds as a supplement to the insects that abound among warmer temperatures and the many flower blossoms. But Part 2 is coming over the next two or three weeks with a huge influx of a fascinating variety of birds that are primarily insect eaters. Turning our attention to the world of birds, which are responsible for a major part of our spring experience, so much has already happened already. I can’t imagine taking a hike and ignoring to the various birds along the way – whether visible or only by sound. I love hiking through the woods and fields, but I can’t do it without paying attention to the flora and fauna all around me. Just how close is up to each of us - we can to take our “closeness” to the next level just by being a little more aware of our surrounding beauty and marvels of nature. Whether you are a gardener, a farmer, a hiker, a sports enthusiast, a bird watcher, or a basic home owner, we all have the opportunity to get closer to nature. The lilacs are about to bloom and later on the locust trees will be so fragrant. And speaking of our senses, don’t forget to take in the smells of blossoming trees and flowers all around us. We need to challenge ourselves to concentrate on specific sounds and to appreciate each one – just as we specifically identify plants, birds, and animals by sight. We get so used to hearing all the sounds and thereby find ourselves actually ignoring the “music!” Close your eyes and listen to the sounds of spring as well. The many flowers, trees, shrubs and landscapes will offer an amazing spectrum of colors and combinations from dawn to dusk each day.
