Pretty sunset by my "fort" tonight. Lots of goldenrod in bloom in our back field.

How's everyone's garden going? Despite some whacky weather, we've been picking a good daily harvest. It is healthier for my family, the planet and my wallet. #gardening

The kids and I planted just over 300 trees over the last couple of days. We planted mostly conifers for habitat and Christmas trees but also added to our nut orchard. Another 60 went into reforestation efforts to replace ash trees. #conservation #arborday #trees

Perfect to find this beautiful trout lily on #EarthDay. This spring ephemeral blooms in April and is one of the earliest #wildflowers in our region. It was the first one in bloom I found this year.

My son joined me for an #EarthDay activity of removing invasive honeysuckle and prepping to plant native plants and trees in our woods. Since we've began this a few years ago, we've noticed native wildflowers expanding their range.

Some of the first #wildflowers here in Western New York: snowdrops and skunk cabbage. Found while taking a short #hike through Great Baehre Swamp. #nature

While admiring the crocuses sprouting in my yard I watched this bee dive in searching for rare spring nectar. #nature #pollinators #spring

Checking up on part of my Christmas tree farm that butts up against the hay field. There are about 250 spruce thriving in this spot providing habitat while developing into a renewable resource. No herbicides or pesticides used. #outdoor #gardening #ecofriendly

Hiked 6 miles on my local trails, 4 on skis and then 2 on snowshoes. This is my "super secret spot" overlooking Meyers Pond. Of course they cut an actual trail to it last year so it isn't as secret as it used to be. I'll get fewer thorns in my legs hiking there though. #winter #hiking #outdoors

Was bummed out today from our political upheaval but put miles on the snowshoes today, packed out some trash in the woods and spent time with the kids. Nothing clears the head and sharpens focus like a brisk 7 degree day.

Taking my Buffalo flip flops out for a quick hike. I picked up this pair to add to the collection so I can lend them to Scouts or whoever. Still, I like to break them in #snowshoeing
