L is...

Believe it or not L was a hard letter.  We had to scratch our heads and think of things that start with L and then see if we have it here....No lions, no llamas...long johns...the kids laughed at that...but a neat one we settle on was...

L is for Lichens...
So yes....moss...lichens....weird plants...we have five kids, and four of them are boys what else do you think they would come up with?

With it being so wet and moist here there are all sorts of plant life that will be fun to explore and discover...especially when it gets a tad warmer....

We did find this one that was interesting on a trip we took recently.  It is called "Old Man's Beard".  Kind of appropriate isn't it?

If plentiful enough on a tree it does indeed look like an older mans beard, but the sad thing is it can get too much for the tree on which it grows and smoother it...but on a brighter side..pretty right?
