What else has been going on

Some of these¹

have been doing some of this,

while nearby, this² was found:

Toothwort³ mania began in earnest.

We had visitors⁴.

This

gave way to this⁵.

There was also this⁶, which is not the same.

And neither is this⁷.

Some excavation⁸ was going on.

But was apparently not satisfactory.

Ahhh it's almost trillium time⁹.

Tiny snails were observed, and also something else¹⁰ that I'm still pondering.

¹Virginia Bluebells, Mertensia virginica
²See this earlier post if you're curious about the redrock fossils.
³Dentaria spp. Or is it all Cardamine now? I get confused.
⁴Canada Geese, Branta canadensis. I would say, "I know that you knew that already, I'm just trying to be consistent," but since there was a woman on a game show last night who did not know that the northern neighbor of the US is CANADA, for crying out loud, I'm not taking any chances.
⁵Hepatica or Liverleaf
⁶Rue Anemone, Thalictrum thalictroides
⁷Jacob's Ladder (Polemonium reptans) with Spring Beauty (Claytonia virginica) flower
⁸I'm guessing Pileated Woodpecker (Dryocopus pileatus), but I'm not sure.
⁹Trailing Trillium, Trillium decumbens
¹⁰Little groups of tiny, tiny rocks are held together and to the larger rock surface like glue. Is something alive in there?
