Harbingers of spring

The Skunk Cabbage is up across the street - its roots are a spring tonic for bears when they emerge from hibernation and it had culinary and medicinal uses for the Native Americans.

Cold gray day - came back into the house to put on a sweater. Still keeping the seedlings inside although hardening them off during the daytime. Need to fill up the hummingbird feeders but cleaning and putting away the seed feeders as there is enough regular food for the birds now. Disassemble it and run it through the dishwasher to sanitize it for storage. Put out about 70 pounds of seed - two Costco boxes worth.
