"Unthreading gossamer traveler milkweed floss from the horses’ eyelashes and wiping it onto the still green grass." *swoon*

Beautiful. I live in an area lush with Larches as well. I love the description that they are “unusual but not uncommon.” I wrote about them a bit last season: https://changingseasons.substack.com/p/larch-season-f217f9476847

Thanks for giving larches a shout! Larches are one of the things I miss most down here in KS - a pine, larch, and birch forest in the fall is one of the best views a person can have.

Being a West Coast-er, I love these descriptions of a different world in the old and deep forests of the northeast. Out here we have much spectacular Western scenery, but our mountains (Sierra Nevada) are prickly sharp spears of granite, not yet softened by time and water and wind. I've not spent much time out that way so it's lovely to get these gorgeous reports.
