Brave little soul!


Look at this brave little soul, poking its head up from between our paving-stone pathway. That gravelly stuff is EcoTraction, an environmentally-friendly, pet-safe salt-substitute. We started using it this year and I really like it, and it's no threat to our well-water. (And no, that wasn't a paid plug. I mention it because I'm so pleased with it!)

I heard on CBC radio today that Canada has had the warmest, driest winter in six decades. But the meterologist also said that she predicts a big winter storm on March 22nd. Let's see if she's right. Let's hope she's not!

It's a real pleasure to see this intrepid little flower blooming so early in the spring. It's an escapee (seed) from the planter boxes on our front deck.

Spring: so, so close!
