A week ago I was wondering if spring was really here or if it was some cruel trick from Mother Nature. We still had a couple of feet of snow in our backyard and no sign of dirt.
Today we have our first Crocus of the season and chutes are shooting up all over the place.
I finally got some batteries for my first digital camera and will try to document the new arrivals.
I know this is a bit off topic but I am also a fisher and I love nothing more than getting out of the city and hitting a few streams for a nice feed of brook trout. That is a lot of fun but at this time of year, well in another week, when fishing season opens it is truly a blessing to see all the life returning with snow still all around us.
Our backyard garden doesn’t look so far away now. A little sun, a little patience and things come around.

1I thought things would be buried until June in Moncton.
What a lovely little surprise.

2Well Nancy, I didn’t think we would have snow until June but I was certainly surprised by our little friend.
Today I am starting to take pictures of our property so I can see what we have growing where in our yard. It’s getting very exciting.
