Driveway garden
Did some more work in the driveway garden. It’s a lot of garden. I planted an elderflower that’s been in a pot for a year. I feel pretty good about it all.

Spring on the rail trail
The Acadians built the original dykes hundreds of years ago and they are still lovely farmland today. 
The intense green is indescribable.

It’s a favourite walk of mine and Scapa’s.

Rhododendron Bumbler
This huge bumblebee really enjoyed the early blooms of one of our new rhododendrons.

Spring blooms & peepers!
The bees absolutely love this strange willow. If you are quiet, you can hear their busy hum.
This stellata magnolia in the historic gardens is stunning and has the most divine fragrance.
I have no photos of peepers, because they are a small innocuous brown frog. Their glory is in their song which lasts through the spring nights.

Clean porch!
The kitchen entrance on the west side of the house has been a dumping ground for stuff for three years. Today that stuff found homes or went to the curb. The dog approves!

The scent of violets
The sun has finally come out and I can smell the delicious scent of violets. It brings me back to my childhood and a little bottle of violet perfume… and my travels in the Toulouse area of France where violets become liquor…

Happiness
Well it’s true that money can’t buy happiness it can buy a hydrangea! And that makes me happy.

After two snow days in a row, it’s nice to be able to see some signs of spring flowers.

Lobster Roll
Sarah created her astonishing version of the Nova Scotia Lobster Roll today. A loaf of freshly baked sourdough bread from a great local baker... coated in Mexican butter that we brought back. (Note... in our opinions mexican butter is the best we have ever tasted) One pound of Nova Scotia Lobster meat with minced shallots, fresh tarragon and mayo, spruce tip salt and fresh ground assorted pepper to taste. OMG... sooooooo good. Should have done this 3yrs ago!
Yarmouth Doctor Appointment
We embraced a specialist appointment in Yarmouth NS and braved the winter gale force winds on Valentines Day to go out to Cape Forchu then had a great seafood lunch and epic Carrot Cake dessert before retuning home.
