the Snow Drops
It was another lovely, very cold, sunny day, so I wanted to try take advantage of the few spring flowers managing to actually bloom in our slow, cold spring. There was a house near the lake whose front lawn was covered with huge clumps of snow drops, so we went there, and I asked if I could take some photos among their flowers...
"Is Spring Ever Coming??"
The daytime temperatures had been hovering around freezing for weeks, and it was snowing out there again.
Spring flowers have started sprouting, but they are struggling. Where's Spring??

"I think I need to have a talk with Mother Nature about this..."
"In the meantime we can build a snowman...."
More Ice and Snow
In mid-April, we experienced an ice storm - first freezing rain, then a couple of centimetres of ice pellets, then more freezing rain.
"I don't suppose there's room under there for me??"
"I'm really sick of this ice and snow!!"
"Sorry, there's not enough room..."
"I didn't think so..."
"Maybe you can find some other place dry and warm?"
Bunnies in the Scillas
The blue scillas are in bloom along the town-line again, but they are so overgrown with dog-strangling vines that it's become rather challenging to take photos there anymore.
I did spot Willie and some fairies making friends with some bunnies....

the Unicorn
We discovered a new spot covered with carpets of blue scillas, down by the lake, and it was the perfect spot for some photos of the newly finished unicorn........and some fairies, and Willie, of course.....
Tillie and the Unicorn
Willie and the Fairies
A few more pictures of Willie and the fairies, Cinnamon & Tillie, in my garden....
Spring Flowers
Some portraits of Willie with her bouquet of lily of the valley, out and about in the garden...
"Follow Willie!"
The Wizard had been invited to a party....
Nami, Paige, and Winston, had also been invited.
But no one was really sure where the Fairies were getting ready...
"I know exactly where it is. Just follow me!"
"Everyone, follow Willie!"
So, off they went....
