Peepers!

​Peepers are Little, loud frogs that sound off as one of the first true signs of spring. I don’t have a photo because I’ve never seen one for real. I’ve seen photos, but that’s all. Today we stopped at the Lequille Country store and I could hear them for the first time this year. There was a symphony of peepers. 

Crocus

​

There are a few bees coming around in the crocus. Can you see them?

Spring Flowers

​I love snowdrops and we are lucky enough to have quite a number of them in our Nova Scotia garden. 

I’m not alone, lovers of snow drops are called ‘galanthophiles’. The Latin name for the common European snowdrop is galanthus nivalis. There are many names varieties and I could easily become a collector! We also have various types of crocus, iris reticulata (Dutch or dwarf iris) and some heather in bloom.

Damask Delight

​A friend gifted me some of her vintage damask table linens.

Art exhibit: I am torn, I am mended

​i’m in Annapolis Royale, and right across the street is arts place, a gallery for NS artists. Today’s opening exhibit includes handspun knits and print work.

Etch-a-sketch Weather

​I remember having a lot of fun with my etch a sketch as a kid. Making a drawing and then shaking it so that you’d have another blank slate to draw on. There’s something about that physical memory that keeps coming back to me every time I check the weather forecast and it’s still below -25. I shake my phone as if that will somehow change the reality of this never-ending freezing cold winter.
