IN LIKE A LION-THE START OF MARCH

February was one of the coldest for the GTA in recorded history. Sure hope March will begin the Spring thaw. My friend out west has shown blossoms on Vancouver Island- well our blossoms will follow in a few months. We need the cold for the Maple Syrup to run. School children make trips to local areas to participate and enjoy an old Canadian tradition. The school break is coming soon with lots of local events planned for those not going to warm southern climates. My girls and families will be headed south for the break. Means no babysitting so can continue to purge and organize areas of my house before the outdoor work starts.

No there are no flowers in the garden yet. But underneath all that snow the mighty crocus is waiting to emerge from the soil and show its colours.
