- Laurel in bloom!
Our acres of mountain laurel are quickly coming into peak bloom and should stay that way into the week absent a rain and wind storm. I’ve never seen it so lush. Photo is from Tuesday. There are also a few ladyslippers still in bloom. Enjoy.
I am busy practicing violin for the FREE Williamsport Symphony concert Sunday evening at 7:00 at the Hughesville Fairgrounds bandstand. Bring a lawn chair as seating is on the midway not the grandstand. It’s only an hour, and the program is music from movies including Star Wars, Harry Potter, Frozen, and Pirates.
- Found dog
This handsome and friendly dog has been hanging around the parking area today (Thursday May 25.) He has a chain collar but no tag. If he’s yours, call 570-584-3324 or respond to this post.

- Amphibian Breeding
March 23, 2023 was the best night ever for viewing amphibian breeding. The spotted salamanders were moving into and out of the pools in numbers such that we five lucky people had to watch our steps!…
…and every 20 feet or so a flashlight revealed a cluster of animals swimming around in the leaves at the floor of each pool…
…many wood frogs swimming day and night (no picture, sorry).
…even a hatch of fairy shrimp (freshwater equivalent of brine shrimp) which I’ve only seen once before!
