Spring Colour!

While the more eastern areas of the continent are being pounded by yet another snowstorm, here spring seems to have arrived. Crocuses smile a cheery greeting and primroses flourish. Last weekend we spent a few hours in the afternoon tidying up the yard.

I'm posting these spring-filled photos with the hope that those who are being inundated with snow will take heart - spring will come!

  2. Which means, if this in your garden, my sister-in-law's garden will be full of spring beauties too.

    Mmmmm... wonder if West Jet has any seatsales to Victoria!

    It's been glorious here too, but we're a long way from flowers in the garden. It is wonderful, though, to hear the snowing melting... well, maybe the riverlets of waters running after it's melted.

    Have a wonderful weekend!

  3. It's hard not to feel smug when friends and family from the east call - I'll try to be gracious and not talk too much about blossoms and petals and perfume!

  5. Yes, Lots of beautiful soft flakes falling from the sky, here in the East. I do love snow. Looking forward to Easter in Victoria, as I will be visiting again. The flowers of spring in Victoria are gorgeous.

    Good luck with your move. North on the Island is so awesome.

    Have a wonderful day!

  6. Good Morning Lorrie,

    Your flowers are really pretty! I spent last weekend cleaning out a couple of flowerbeds. I couldn't believe that the daffodis are blooming with all the snow and cold weather that we've had/have. I love it when I see this flowers pop up their heads because I know that the Easter season is approaching and that Spring is just around the corner.

    I hope all is going well with you and your move. I am so excited that things are working out with your husband's job. God is so good!!

    Have a wonderful Sunday and new week.

  9. Love these bursts of color! They're predicting snow here for the third time in three weeks. And I am in Alabama, for goodness sake! Mind you, I am not complaining because I do love to see the white fluffy stuff even if it's in late spring. Hope the packing is going well.

    :) Christi
