We finally had some beautiful sunny warmer(9 degrees Celsius) that had some serious melting going on so we enjoyed several nice long walks. the pussywillows are out -an early sign of spring!
Finally, our daffodils came out from under the snow already growing.
The mourning doves are often on this bare patch of lawn,pecking in the ground.Thankfully the bare patches are getting bigger!
This mourning dove was sunning himself all afternoon on this cement garden bench that a week ago was still buried in snow
The boardwalk in Charlottetown had lots of people out for a stroll along the harbour.
Lots of snow melting in ditches etc.
The birds are laying their eggs- just kidding.It is a real nest but candy eggs.
So soon we will be able to have breakfast here again.
And our garden tours will be starting up again-we already have tours from Japan booked starting in June.
Soon it will be picnic time again!
Or teatime.
And we will soon be living out here when we are not in the garden.
I am so glad that we have this promise of spring!
Have a great day!
Carolyn

Thank you for your blog. It is always such a delightful getaway when you have a new post. Your gardens are so beautiful and your photography skills just eloquent! Thank you for taking the time to share. You bless my day!
I love your signs of spring...and the pictures of what is to come...beautiful!
I am fairly new to your lovely blog. But I am enthralled with your indoor and outdoor decorating! Better than looking at a magazine. Phenomenal taste you have!

I can't wait to watch spring unfold in your garden. Do you have a separate website for your garden tours in the summer? I would love to see your garden in person one day!

I just found your blog and you are such an inspiration. Your gardens are the prettiest I've ever seen. You are now on my blog roll, I don't want to miss a post and I look forward to watching your gardens spring back to life.
Blessings!
What a wonderful time you have to look forward to! I would love to go on one of your garden tours! They sound lovely. :)
Oh I love these signs of spring.
The melting snow.....so beautiful picture.......and the eggs and the dove.......just everything.
Spring, spring......oh I love it.
Oh you lucky duck!! All we hear is that the "Red River is Rising!!" I went for a walk today on our new 12 inches of snow that arrived last week and is still on the ground despite our 2 deg. celcius today. We live just a block from the Red River and it has covered up the walkway that I used to take in the park. I checked my fruit trees today and no buds are even beginning to show!! It is nice to know that Spring is showing itself somewhere in Canada!! Enjoy! Hugs, ~cindy s~
I was in PEI last May, so I know of the gloriousness you are anticipating. Hang in there. Sally
Hi Carolyn,
I'm so looking forward to better weather and the new growth in your garden! Can you believe after yesterday we're getting up to 25 cm of that white stuff? Yuck! They say it is the farmer's fertilizer though. Is that true? Thanks for your prayers for my Mum.
Blessings,
Sandi
I can feel your excitement & your smile..I can't wait till it's time to get back in the Garden!! Your candy eggs & nest are quite beautiful!:) And that looks like the perfect place to have breakfast!

I mean it... I am moving in!
One of these days I hope some of your readers can join in the garden tour in real life! It is not only beautiful but it looks so inviting.
I would just love to visit your gardens. Beautiful!
Of all the rooms that I have seen on the internet...your little outdoor room is my favourite! Marilyn xoxo
Carolyn, I feel terrible! I had 23 comments on my blog to moderate and like a dork I accidentally clicked on "REJECT" instead of PUBLISH! SO SORRY!!!
Your comment was one of those. I so want to count you in as part of the giveaway!!! Would you kindly comment again? I copied and pasted your comment from the email alert that was sent:
"Congratulations! I love the cake.Nice giveaway too.
Carolyn"

My friend...
Your blog is such a delight!!! We are still getting snow here in Colorado also...all of the beautiful photos of your gardens give me hope that Spring will come! Hehe!!! Your vine covered veranda is simpy divine...ohhh yes, I could sit here and take my breakfast! It's so beautiful that I probably wouldn't get a thing done...but to sit and enjoy the beauty!!!
It sounds like you'll be having a busy, busy summer with your garden tours filling up! I wish you the very best in all of your endeavors with that! I bet you just can't wait for some warmer weather and to get out and start working in that yard! Hopefully soon...
Warmest wishes,
Chari
