Today I set off on my usual running route along the bike path, this time with some friends. The path was clear of snow for the first time in quite a long time, which made the run more enjoyable. I can tell that spring is on the way because a few plants are beginning to pop up now that the ground is not frozen. Seeing everything come back to life after a long winter is one of my favorite things. I noticed more animals out and about at Rock Point, from squirrels to birds.
My tree is not yet showing any signs of budding or flowering, although it has finally shed its leaves from last year. When I visited last time the little beech was still hanging on to a few old leaves. Now the pointy ends of the twigs are exposed. I am guessing that next time I visit I will begin to see some signs of new growth and budding.
