Last year late snows lashed the Black Hills Spruce guarding the Abbey Point pond. It took a season to recover from damage caused by snow piled high against them. This year's mild winter and spring has resulted in bigger fresh growth than ever seen during their twelve years. (New growth shows up in the photo as a lighter shade of green, which then turns darker in a month's time, resulting in a bushier, fuller specimen.)
May Day storms blew through Minnesota, some tornadoes were reported, but we just got a steady stream of welcome rain. . . and a close-by crashing bolt of lightning that readjusted our satellite clock back three time zones.
