“There is hope if people will begin to awaken that spiritual part of themselves, that heartfelt knowledge that we are caretakers on this planet.”  Brooke Medicine Eagle

Today is Earth Day.  It’s also Day 100 of my 365 Self Portrait Challenge.  As it was another very nice day, I spent some time wandering through my property to see how spring was flourishing.  Two of the sure signs of Spring are the Skunk Cabbage that grow in the swampy areas down by the creek, and the horsetail that is quite pervasive and tends to take over in areas I don’t particularly want it to!  The stink of the Skunk Cabbage goes away as the huge yellow blossoms fade fairly quickly, however the Horsetail is the bane of my existence!  As it grows, it sends out a bazzillion spores that then start more and more and more new plants.  We are constantly spraying to keep it under control.  That battle is just beginning anew for this year  . . .
