What An Interesting Weather Day
Tags: Life In Cape Breton
This morning we turned around in Lime Hill and went back home. The wet snow was getting deeper and we decided to stay at home after all.
By the afternoon, the weather had warmed, all the snow and sleet melted and there was a definite look of spring around us. The perennials, biennials, herbs, bulbs and rhizomes have sent up fresh shoots and greened their leaves. The trees and shrubs are forming pale buds. The snow is gone, the grass is starting to grow and the lettuce is getting frisky in the cold frame. Spring has sprung and it's early this year. The weekend is forecast to be cold but that's temporary. We could be in for a balmy St. Paddy's Day.
