Spring officially arrived in March but, while the snow has now finally melted in Peterborough and areas to the south, there’s still plenty of the white stuff in the northern Kawarthas.
We took a trip to our cottage north of Apsley this past weekend and, would you believe it, there was still four feet of snow on our driveway! Luckily, we brought our snowshoes.
But there are some sure signs spring is finally here. It’s getting light earlier, birds are singing in the morning, robins are building their nests, and I even saw two loons on Little Lake in Peterborough. While our top March photos are still heavy with snow, I promise no snow pictures for April — I hope!
