Thank goodness! It's been a long, cold winter and the sun shining just makes everything better; doesn't it? We've been running pretty fast since getting back from our road trip... gardens, lawns, and the good ship SV Shannon's Spirit have all been demanding attention. The call of the ocean and salt-water spray is beckoning to us and, with luck, it won't be too much longer before we slip the lines and head off on the next adventure... this time up the coast to some of our favourite haunts and folks.
This rhody is the one that was squished flat two winters ago by heavy snow. It has not only bounced back but it's the first to offer up beautiful blooms. The others are following but this guy gets the ribbon for first out. I want to wish each of you a happy spring and hope you have your own adventures knocking on your door. Bye for now. will write again once our 'cruise' begins. TTFN CJ
