Other areas of Nova Scotia did have the rain and no snow. Some birds are making an appearance now. Gold finches have been seen in winter colours. The blue jays are calling all the time. Eagles have started returning looking for food.
Squirrels are runnng around the roads.
The humps and bumps are starting to subside a little. I can get to work in Iona in less than an hour now. March 27 I heard a song sparrow today and saw the seals on the ice in Iona. We can say that spring has come. Today I went to a shower for baby Hannah Smith, the daughter of Rob and Cheryl Smith and the grand-daughter of Peter and Verna MacMillan.
