Up at the crack of dawn

​last night there was thunder and lightning, as a result I was up ungodly early. I did some gardening done before I had to start work.


It might not seem like much, but I’m pretty excited about this garden sculpture. I made it out of Willow that we cut from one of the places that I walk the dog.

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.
