We finally had a wonderful day, suitable for enjoying the outdoors in our backyard. Even though it was rather breezy, the sunshine and temperatures near 80 made for a most comfortable session on our canopy covered swing.
Our son surprised us with another colorful and striking cut flower arrangement. This time we were treated with some multi-colored daffodils in addition to the beautiful yellow blooms. It was a treat to look upon them while we enjoyed some bird watching and squirrel watching too.
While looking at birds on the feeder, I felt something hit my arm. Looking down I saw a cluster of “whirligigs” or “helicopters”, in other words maple tree seeds. Our maple tree literally covers our yard each spring with these fun adaptions to Nature’s procreations. We’ve already noticed many new maple seedlings sprouting from last years crop of fliers.

My grandmother had a tree and it was a constant battle to uproot the multitude of tiny trees. Son #1 has 3 big maples in his yard and the battle continues to rage!

LOL… Love it. When I was about 6 I spotted a seedling in my sandbox. That went to my maternal grandparents back yard. It lasted over 50 years… Thanks for sharing.

I remember whirligigs and helicopters from maple trees in our yard when I was growing up. They are fun.

I think that anyone who did not play with whirligigs as a kid really missed out. Thanks, Anne, for sharing.
