whenever things are tough or difficult it helps to try to put a positve spin on them. in newfoundland it was always believed that may snow had medicinal qualities. bathing your eyes in may snow would bring health to them. so yesterday on our morning walk, marilee and i bathed our eyes in the fresh snow (it was actually a beautiful morning - clean wet snow on every surface giving the landscape an outlined or ultra 3-d effect. and the air was full of birdsong and we watched an osprey gliding on the wind over the bay). we even bathed the dogs eyes for good luck. it's cold today but most of the snow is gone. and the garden, although looking a little fragile and battered, is beginning to revive.

Phew - I'm glad the snow is melting! I remember you writing about the magical May snow last year...your greenhouse looks amazing! Like a small cathedral. I miss you too. Glad we can follow each others' day to day.
