First Fowers

They have struggled this year, these tiny snowdrops, and finally yesterday there was a large patch waving in the breeze. "Hello spring" I heard them say. Mind you I didn't have my hearing aids in so it might have been wishful thinking. Or in this case, hearing.

  3. Yours and Rosie's comment made me laugh, thanks Fiona. I think they need to whisper louder as more snow is on the way....sigh....

    1. Oh my, I just came across this quote and even tho its on the other side of the country...

      There's only one month of the year
      when it doesn't snow in Alberta.
      Some years it snows that month too.

    2. It's so true, they say that about Cape Breton and Newfoundland too. Guess they can add ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes! Thanks for sharing this quote Fiona.
