This spring has been the Spring of the Tiny Maple Trees in Michigan. Thanks to last spring and this winter, little Canadian flags have sprouted EVERYWHERE. A couple weeks ago I posted a photo of a tree growing in a mildly unconventional spot, but recently I noticed several trees trying to put down roots in a very odd place: about four feet above the ground, between the house and the deck.

In other spring news, there are kittens. While I was taking the above photo, one kitten decided to take a nap on her napping mother.
