Rain all day yesterday which kept us out of the woods. Gray today with more rain possible and for the next few days. Nearby Essex woods was a chance to at least stretch our legs.
Still looking for signs of spring and found some tree buds,
Kelley and Cooper heading down the old rail bed
and, of course, Kelley found water
This old tree seemed to fit the mood of the day
This lichen provided a little color
and then - first flower of the year - Coltsfoot
Kelley was not enthusiastic but Cooper seemed to enjoy the outing . I was also not enthusiastic and so a little under an hour was enough.

Ah, but there was a flower and I see the grass starting to turn a bit under the pines, so the end is definitely near! Hooray.
