I took this photo during a walk Cynthia and I took at the Rosy Mound Natural Area south of Grand Haven.

An excellent use of a government bribe, if I do say so myself.

The Fulton Street Farmer’s Market is Open!
At long last, the Fulton Street Farmer’s Market is open for the season. After a long bland winter, I now have access to vegetables which are bred for flavor instead of toughness. For the moment the vendors are mostly selling plants and various non-food wares, but as the growing season picks up we will see a shift over to more foodstuffs. This morning the big sellers were asparagus, rhubarb and various meats.
Yum!

The Weekly Avocado
Week 3. Shouldn’t be long before we see some sprouts coming out the top. Then, out of the jar and into the pot.

The Meijer Gardens
The above is a photo taken at the Meijer Gardens last week, during the Foremost Butterflies exhibit. The place was a zoo, people packed shoulder-to-shoulder in the arboretum where the humidity is kept somewhere north of 100%.
Despite the overpopulation of Homo Sapiens, love was in the air, and the bunch of us were treated to a display of quail sex in the middle of one of the walkways.
Outside in the open air there were still a lot of people, but more room to move. Beside one of the paths a nest of garter snakes had just opened up, and we happened across a couple of them making the Beast with Two Backs, which, if you suffer from Ophidiophobia, I suggest you try to avoid seeing.
