On Saturday, I took one last visit to my tree. It looked about the same as last week, despite the changes in scenery due to the warmer weather! There was no snow in sight (just mud and dirt), and a very bright sun, which made the walk very enjoyable.


My tree hasn’t changed very much at all since two weeks ago. It was about the same height (up to my waist) and there are still no signs of flowering, so I made note of that on iNaturalist.

It was fun to see the progress this tree made, even if it was small. I’m feeling bittersweet about visiting my actual phenology spot in two weeks, and making my last blog post…
