glorious spring

Each day we are checking for signs of spring. The day we came home from our weekend in D.C. we received about 7-8 cm of snow. The snow has now disappeared. Today was +13 degrees C. at one point in the day. We see the tulips coming up through the ground, rhubarb is up, and we heard a loon today. All very wonderful and hopeful. The above picture was taken on our walk yesterday--close to Cow Bay in Cole Harbour. Part of the Trans Canada trail joins into this park. Some people said that they spotted pussy willlows here yesterday.
Today we enjoyed a nice long walk at Conrad Beach.(about 15 minute drive from our house). It was at low tide so there was alot of sand. Fog was trying to descend upon us from time to time. The birds were sounding cheerful.
