Lindsay and Ryan were involved in
An Evening With the Arts
at Oak Creek Elementary
Olentangy Local School District.
Lindsay was in the strings concert and
played a solo. She also played piano later in the evening,
as part of a group who were background music.
She and Ryan both displayed art pieces.

May apples are in bloom in the woods.

Stacie and I went looking for morel mushrooms.
I found my first one EVER!

Lindsay and Isabella went up to feed the fish

If you live near a wooded area,
watch for these blooms and leaves....it's a buckeye tree....
and they're in bloom now!
Then in the fall, you can find buckeyes there!

It's dusk; the goose and gander are
still very protective of these goslings--who are
growing really fast!

Herons in Ohio fly, too!

Guess who's been fishing today!
Looks like dinner!

Note the usual attention to safety of goslings.
