The Gardens of Sherbrooke

Spring is so fleeting in this part of the world. One moment it's snowing and then next moment it's roasting.

However,  the two or three weeks of real "spring" in Ottawa are glorious. The smell, the sun, the wind. It can make the crabbiest cynic smile.

A spoonful of colour makes the medicine go down
It's times like this when it's nice to take a walk and smell the roses or, more accurately, the tulips. There are tulips everywhere on our street! I didn't notice so many when I was living in Quebec. But this area has gads of them. They poke in and out and around the other flowers and add an unkempt, English-garden-style feel to the area.

Oi! I said plant Daffodils!
We definitely have to plant some next year. In the meantime we'll just enjoy other people's gardens!

Our little garden. Unfortunately sans tulips....this year!
