May at the cottage

Everything has been early this year, with all the warm weather.  Two weeks ago we saw all the Trilliums in bloom up in the Opeongo Range, including this nice red one!  Our apple tree at the cottage was just about ready to bloom, too, which would be about two weeks ahead of schedule.  Sadly, when we got to the lake last weekend, the hot spell had finished the blossoms.  Dang!
I was interested to see a Downy Woodpecker at the feeder last weekend.  Didn't know they liked seeds as well as bugs!

Woodpeckers are fond of suet feeders, too.

Have you been in the water at the cottage? We had a mile pond swim today at Meech and the water was just lovely!

It's Winter....

 Not a fan, but winter is something one survives (hopefully) so that spring may occur. I miss Stitches, very much. Fortunately, we have Jasp...
