Thickets and river edges are being dusted with the white flowers of Shadbush (Amelanchier species). There are eight varieties listed for the state. This one is probably A. laevis.
And in lawns, waste places and cultivated fields Purple Dead Nettle AKA Purple Archangel is in flower. The "dead" in Dead Nettles refers to the fact that the plant has none of the irritating spines that most nettles are known for.
