Then disaster struck.
We had a couple of really windy days. I mean REALLY windy. We’re talking 50 mph gusts. Even though I noticed a lot of small branches falling off trees in the yard, including the maple, I wasn’t worried about the four buds I’d been watching. I should have been.
It turns out, one of the buds snapped in the wind, and all four of the leaves attached to it blew away. It was the leaves with the tiny red eggs. I guess I’ll never find out what pops out when those eggs hatch. Bummer.
As you can see, all the leaves are fully outstretched now. It looks like leafout is officially over. That means it’s spring!
