I first found this house here, in 2016, when it looked as if it had been abandoned in mid construction. I don’t know when work was done but it’s finished, along with a nifty looking barn.

What we’re missing right now
April is when a keen eye can find fairy slippers (calypso bulbosa) on the forest floor.
They’re tiny; they are a miniature genus of orchid.
The flower isn’t much larger than the tip of a human thumb but it’s a day-brightener when you find one.
Losing it?
I’ve been trapped inside too long. Stuff like this is starting to look fascinating.

Happy Earth Day!
Every day is Earth Day when you can take in a view like this.

An appealing street scene.

Pandemic potatoes
This goes under the heading “What I did during the pandemic.” Subtitle: “Potatoes.”
We bought a 15 pound bag of potatoes during one of our early pandemic shopping excursions. This was our version of panic buying. I don’t think I’ve ever bought more than a few pounds of potatoes in my life. Enough for clam chowder or maybe mashed potatoes at Thanksgiving. But DH said, “I love potatoes. I could eat potatoes every day.” Well, he pretty much got to.
Twice baked potatoes. Mashed potatoes. More twice baked potatoes. A lot of mashed potatoes. Potato leek soup. And, finally, a big pot of potato-bacon-cheese soup. Those, above, were the last of them.
Then last week I bought seed potatoes for the garden. Wouldn’t you think I’d had enough potatoes?
