As spring belatedly decided to show up in our neck of the woods, a Hollywood movie crew turned the town into a Christmas set, building a crèche in front of a picturesque church, decorating store windows with candy canes, snowmen, and plastic poinsettias — and spreading fake snow on lawns that had barely recovered from an April 1 blizzard. It was a little weird. One friend said she looked up from washing dishes at her kitchen window and saw what looked like a gigantic spaceship hovering over the trees. It was the boom for the cameraman.
In more seasonal news, spring flowers began to poke out. Woodland walks were taken. Mushrooms and lichens were admired.











Love the old log, and its companions.
For some reason, I am really drawn to mushrooms, lichen, and fungus these days.
