My visit to Centennial Woods this morning was really amazing and definitely a needed break from the craziness of my schedule. It had been storming all night and continued to drizzle during my walk. The ground was squishy with a thin layer of standing water in most places. The water level of the river was higher than I have ever seen it before. It wasn’t flowing out of its banks, but in some places, it was getting close. I, unfortunately, did not see any flowers poking out of the ground, or any buds blooming on trees. Fortunately, there were several other signs of springtime at my site. The birds were chirping which was nice to hear over the roaring flow of the river. There were several young plants starting to emerge as well. In the field beside the river, all the tall grasses had been crushed down by the snow, and now there were several young plants enjoying the newfound access to the sun. There were clovers, large amounts of unfurled ferns, some baby pine trees, some fiddleheads, and some dandelions. I was really amazing to be able to get out there and see the start of the changing seasons. I will definitely be visiting again before I leave to try to see some flowers.
