Last Friday evening the green tendrils of the aurora borealis light show was as amazing as you might expect. However, the high humidity of the temperate rain forest we live in often obscures the colors from the ground. Red is more common place. It’s the first time the green has been spotted from our location in years. The Fraser River is flowing freely.
A late snow had postponed the feeling of Spring until the recent +14C temperatures and +18C of today. Nights are still cool. But the first green grass and numerous buds are beginning to appear in the garden. Including: raspberries, cherries, apples, haskaps, plums, gooseberries, red currants, black currants and rhubarb The first iris shoots have appeared. And the new 2026 calves seem to be welcoming each warm day with more play. They sprint as they race madly around with each other, kicking up their heels. It’s the most carefree time of their lives.
