It is starting to feel and look like spring, finally. And with that comes the reminder one of my favourite views here is early morning just as the sun rises and sets on the shore across the cove; the view lasts only a few minutes but it still causes me to stop and soak it in, realizing (again) how lucky we are to have all of this right in the back yard.

Even though the heavy snow was, for all intents and purpose, gone by the end of February, Old Man Winter persisted with piddly little white messes until as late as last week. We have our fingers crossed that is behind us for this year. What do they call late snow, ‘poor man’s fertilizer’? Must work, because the grass is turning green – yea!

We’re starting to prepare the yard for the summer season and are eager for our guests to enjoy it with us.
