Yellow In Spring

 

Last year, we had a very early, unusually warm, and utterly glorious spring. I was sanding and painting the deck in April. Alas, it was a once in a lifetime experience. This spring is more typical of the Maritimes. The yellow highlights in the garden are the only bright spots with day after day of clouds and rain.

Here is an old Nova Scotia refrain:

Rain, drizzle, and fog

We might as well live in a bog

The streets are all wet

And still all we get

Is rain, drizzle, and fog!
