Day of the orchid

Today we saw our first Early Purple orchids poking through the ground, between the veggie patch and the tractor. We think it's a bit later than last year, but can't know for sure. Next year, I'll be able to tell you with something approaching scientific accuracy.

(Reading "Song of the Dodo" at the moment, after a few years of resistance. Predictably, it's brilliant. Makes island biogeography a subject you'd want to queue up to study.)
