We've recently made two trips into the woods looking for morels...and we've found exactly one 'shroom. 

But I have seen...

This pretty little white trillium...

 ...some sweet smelling phlox...
 ... trees with their hands lifted in praise toward the heavens...
 ...a lowly, though lovely, dandelion...

  and a kazillion of these maple tree seeds.  They look like bunches of miniature helicopters as they fly off the trees. 

Oh, how I wish morels were as plentiful as maple tree seeds!
