Last on the Card – April 2021

The last photo on my Lumix Panasonic is a shot at my bird feeder. I try to keep my camera with the zoom lens close by so that when an interesting bird comes by I can capture it at the feeder. It’s harder than it looks because any little movement, even on the other side of the glass scares them off.

New Flower (April 21, 2021) – Spring Flowers Under a Blanket of Snow

Posted on April 21, 2021 by Mama Cormier

…this snow literally came down overnight

Even for Southern Ontario in Canada, snow this late into April is not the norm. It’s ironic that we had so little snow this winter and Mother Nature decided make up for it well into spring. Four hours later all this snow has already disappeared.

Bright Square – April 18, 2021

Posted on April 18, 2021 by Mama Cormier

….today would have been Mom’s 90th birthday

Thanks to Becky B for hosting Bright Square for the month of April.https://beckybofwinchester.com/2021/04/18/bright-square-18/

A few days ago I posted a photos of my narcissus plants that were about to open up. I called it Bright Future because they symbolized the ongoing beauty that I should experience every spring from here on and be reminded of my Dad who recently passed away.

Two of the flowers have opened and the rest are taking their time but we’ve had a few cold days and I’m sure when it starts to warm up again the rest will follow.

These New Bulbs Have a Bright Future in my Garden

Posted on April 13, 2021 by Mama Cormier

….thanks to Becky B for hosting BrightSquare https://beckybofwinchester.com/2021/04/13/bright-square-13/

Last fall two close friends gifted me 50 narcissus bulbs to plant in my front yard. Liz came over and helped my plant the bulbs around the tree, the hydro pole, along the wall and in the flower bed. They started to emerge last February and are just about ready to bloom.

The flowers are a remembrance to my father who passed away last October. Hopefully they should pop up every spring. If they are anything like my daffodils this year they will probably multiply over the years.

A New Gnome to Brighten My Day

Posted on April 4, 2021 by Mama Cormier

….I secretly love gnomes

Thanks to Becky B for hosting Bright Square. Every day this month we are encouraged to take square photos of anything bright. Here is my newest addition to my gnome collection and it is certainly the brightest one I have. I suspect after one summer in the sun it will fade like the others but that will just add to his character. https://beckybofwinchester.com/2021/04/04/bright-square-4/

December Came in Like a Lion

Posted on December 4, 2020 by Mama Cormier

…after those beautiful spring like days at the end of November

I love the first snow, especially when there’s a lot of it. The first snow this year was just a dusting for us back in mid November but the snowfall on December 1st was magical. Most of it has already melted but it was nice for the first two days. Here are a few shots from my garden.
