4-23-20 SHORT HILLS: We have had more rain, showers almost every day, 0.4 inches since the last post. It’s been close to freezing overnight, but warms up to the forties, so I have been outside clipping and sawing. The cold weather seems to have slowed the new flowering, as the plants probably have second thoughts about opening up when the pollinators are nearly frozen.
There were a few flakes when the rain started this morning, but it was all over in about an hour. This weather pattern is supposed to change next week.
I have been selling the birds a lot of seeds, but there have not been any unusual customers. The cardinals, the males, are more vibrant red than a week or so ago. I never noticed color change in the cardinals before—I guess they could be different birds.
New blooms: Virginia blue bells, sweet woodruff, wild strawberry.
Virginia blue bells, yet another spring ephemeral.

Sweet woodruff flowers in spring, but the foliage lasts all season.
