Tomorrow marks the 51st anniversary of Earth Day, but we can celebrate the diversity of life on this planet every day and think about our role in protecting it. Last week at Matts Creek, on a two-mile stretch of the Appalachian Trail, Michael and our friends Glenn and Linda Buck celebrated. We watched northern rough-winged swallows and tree swallows zoom over the James River Foot Bridge, and once on the trail, we saw wildflowers galore. Bleeding heart was cascading over rock cliffs, while Virginia bluebells blanketed the ground near the James River. Along the trail were tiny white flowers in the form of star chickweed, rue anemone and Dutchmen’s-breeches, which look like tiny pantaloons drying upside down. The last of the bloodroot was blooming.
