Lots of species tulips and other little bulbs poking up in my 'hot' bed by the south side of the house!
What's out your windows?
Spring's a comin'
I looked out my window this morning and saw: two pairs of Canada geese. They're back! We have a 2-acre fish pond, and my DH insists on mowing large areas of grass next to it, and so it's perfect for geese. Every year we get three, four, or even five goose pairs nesting. At the moment, the pond is still frozen, and there are only a couple of places on the banks where the snow has melted, exposing brown grass, so I'm not sure what the early birds are eating. Does anyone else have spring birds to report?
I dunno if they are SPRING birds, but we are seeing a couple of pairs of wild turkeys as we walk in the neighbourhood.
We hear turkeys all year round, and see their tracks and the places they scratch for food, but they either become invisible or fly off when DH and I come crashing through the woods on our big feet (or snowshoes). You have to be very stealthy to creep up on them!
it;s currently snowing n Victoria. It won't last, but it's not welcome! I've even had to turn on the heat!
And now it is in Calgary----I don't want to look out the window this morning!
Still gorgeous in Ottawa. Article in the paper said people are calling to have their summer tires put on. Big mistake! We are almost certain to have more snow at some point and it COULD be significant in late March.
After what seems like WEEKS of absolutely stellar weather .. we are being rained upon .. makes walking quite treacherous as it is so slick !!
Looks like Nfld got a majorly wicked ice storm ....

These crocus are record .Feb 7.They are in bloom at my daughter's house.Mine usually bloom at the end of march.I think we will have an early spring.I hope the St. Patrick's storm misses us JOY
OH MY Joy .. aren't they just beautiful .. gosh .. I HAVE to plant some bulbs this coming fall.
A friend on FaceBook had a picture of her Snow Drops .. just SO delicate .. Linda has a great shot in one of the first posts in this forum (Snow Drops)
Mental note .. GET BULBS THIS YEAR !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Still no crocuses, but I have sighted a red-winged blackbird and a chipmunk (not together).
Most of my small bulbs in the 'hot' bed( south side of house between foundation and brick patio) are poking up- there are daffs, hyacinths, species tulips and little things like Chinodoxa and Squill.I trimmed off some peony stems and cleaned out the leaves and there are even a few small hints of pink on one of the older peonies! If we continue to have this warmer weather I will have lots of things coming up soon!
Finally, some spring colour has appeared in the view from my living room window. The ice on our pond is turning pink. I kid you not.
I noticed a lovely scent in my living room and. to my surprise a Gardenia bud had opened. JOY
that's a happy looking Gardenia, they do have a wonderful scent.
Beauteous Gardenia Joy .. and, I agree, the scent is heavenly ..
Carol, fingers crossed Calgary does NOT get snow !!!
Not quite sure about the 'pink pond' June .. but .. it is COLOUR LoL
