a stroll in the forest

the snow has been melting - which has made the forest really wet

good job we were wearing our wellies!

nature is starting to reclaim our bench...
The bench is on a wild-strawberry covered slope next to our little house in the forest (of course no sign of strawberries yet - but we did see a few promising leaves!!

some of our finds - sadly most of the cones were just tooooooo wet

but there were enough for a small harvest anyway

a basket of natural treasure...
